Reiter's Wireless Data Web Log : Hughes offers WiFi package with direct satellite system

Alan Reiter notes that Hughes Network Systems, has announced a satellite/WiFi combo, targetted at owners of RV parks and similar.
It looks like it's basically a WiFi access point bundled right in there with the satellite system, which would allow for a very easy way to provide (expensive) bandwidth to remote locations.

Hughes Network Systems today announced a supplement to its Directway two-way, fixed satellite system: WiFi. The new product includes an external WiFi access point, and the system is targeted at owners of parks and resorts catering to owners of recreational vehicles.

The press release doesn't include much information, such as data rates and costs, so I called the women who sent out Hughes' press release. Airtime costs for service will be determined by the owners of the RV parks, so I wasn't given any figure for what it would cost to use the service.
