I am interested in any experience people have with Inmarsat's or other providers of BGAN connections to a laptop. My particular interest is R-BGAN, which is cheap and convenient (although a bit slow at 144). It is apparently not for sale in North America and seemingly reserved for operators (journalist being key prospects) in third world markets of North Africa and the Middle East. However it works fine in Europe.
I would welcome any practical info, including the ease/difficulty of pointing the Hughes-made Transmiter/Modem to the relevant satellite and keeping this stable in a mobile environement.
