[Satellite TODAY 07-31-13] Using SES Broadband Services platform, BroadbandEverywhere, a new satellite broadband provider, launched its high-speed broadband service.

BroadbandEverywhere offers high-speed Internet without a phone line or mobile dongle, unaffected by landscape, starting from 13 pounds ($19.7) per month according to a written statement. The service is being powered by Ka-band capacity on SES’ Astra 2F satellite located at the orbital position 28.2 degrees east. With the launch of another satellite, Astra 2E, carrying additional Ka-band capacity and scheduled for launch in September this year, the service availability will be further extended to a wider geographic area.
