Viasat has signed a deal to put a planned broadband Internet satellite into orbit above the U.S. in 2011. The satellite will an overall throughput of 100G bps (bits per second) and that should enable it to support 2M bps service to about 2 million subscribers when operational.
It is expected to be the highest capacity satellite in the world at time of launch, and that should mean the price of transmitting each bit of data is about a tenth that of current services. In turn this should enable broadband Internet services at much lower prices than now, according to the company.

* Satellite networks for fixed-site and mobile communications
