I have and sell StarBand 2 way Satellite in the States. I can't sell it down there because the bird is under the horizon.

I heard rumors that people in P.R. could receive
Star Band.
So i guess thats only a rumor then,
and it is not possible and won't happen either.??
there was a website where you could put your coordinates and find out if you lived within the footprint, but I forgot that page. Maybe you know?

direct pc is not two way however
all those american companies are strictly
for inside the USA.
Either they are not allowed or they don't want to sell outside the continental USA.
