[Via Satellite 12-18-13] ViaSat’s Exede Evolution satellite Internet service has launched throughout all counties in the states of Missouri and Iowa. This brings the total number of states with availability for the service up to 30. Exede Evolution offers unlimited 12 Mbps Internet access for web pages and email as well as a high-speed Early Bird Free Zone for other Internet services.

“The results of our initial roll-out have been very positive,” said Lisa Scalpone, vice president, satellite services, ViaSat.

Other subscribers may continue to opt for Exede Classic plans offering the same speed as Evolution, but with fixed data allowances. All Exede plans include a five-hour free zone for unlimited, unmetered Internet activity.

ViaSat has announced plans for the launch of ViaSat 2, its next satellite, for 2016. The spacecraft is expected to be the highest capacity communications satellite in the world at the time it launches in 2016.
