Mobile Satellite Internet Connections?

Posted by Cliff on from the don't-try-this-at-60mph dept.

Anml4ixoye asks: "I am currently the webmaster for Hillsborough County, FL. Yesterday I had a meeting with the chief of Fire Rescue and they have a challenge. Our incident-command vehicle currently uses a cellular connection to the internet when a hard-line is not available (at the rate of 18c a min). They would like to switch to satellite internet, but need a way to automatically position the dish that is used. We're talking firefighter proof (as simple as possible). Any ideas on who to use, how to accomplish this, etc?"
