Hi-Speed Internet For Your Car

Bob Russell · 01-08-2005, 10:24 AM

You will soon be able to get satellite high-speed internet from your car. That will be handy Just in case you want to download a new ebook while riding down the highway on a family vacation.

The RaySat SpeedRay 3000 satellite antenna will be available second half of 2005 for a mere $3500 plus installation and internet service costs.

And people think it's dangerous to use a cell phone while driving. Wait till they start reading ebooks while driving!

I've heard they are also working on WiFi technology for the car that uses the tires of the car for transmitting the signal. Definitely interesting stuff coming in the next year

I think a WiMax approach would be cheaper than satellite's.
