yeah, depending on your area you're looking at anywhere from $500 to $700 for startup costs, then around $100 per month. Your pings will be sky high (the signal has to bounce 24,000 miles up, then several thousand over, then 24,000 miles down, and THEN gets out to the internet) so forget online gaming, VOIP, webcams, and chat apps (AIM, ICQ, etc) will be very slow.
Basically the only thing starband, etc, is useful for is downloading big files and web surfing.
You sure there's no DSL in your area?
