Broadband From The Sky In 2002?

Krendle writes: "A company named ISky is claiming that they will deliver high speed (2mbps down, 1/2mbps up) 2-way satellite Internet access by the end of 2001. One issue I've seen raised in newsgroups (in reference to satellite internet in general) is that of lag. With Internet applications like telephony and online gaming, etc., gaining popularity this is an important issue. 2Mbps from the sky still sounds cool to me, especially where we can't even get cable TV. What do you guys think -- will latency be a problem?" I'd be happy to "settle" for always-on wireless access faster than dial-up and cheap as DSL, but the iSKY Q&A page is short on price details. But it does say "iSKY is planning on being able to support all platforms including Macintosh, Linux, Solaris and Windows."
