So, my parents livr in an area where the only internet available is satellite. It sucks.
However, they also have satellite TV and can watch that no problem.
What’s the difference? Is it just a scale issue where TV has more money and resources compared to satellite internet companies?
In: Technology
In networking jargon we have one-to-many and many-to-many relationships between clients, switches, servers and all of the services that communicate with them. Satellite TV is a one-to-many network, delivering a single service of content to many endpoint clients. Satellite internet is a many-to-many network relationship, delivering and receiving ambiguous content to and from many endpoint clients to and from many servers. The bandwidth and switching speeds required for satellite internet is far and beyond what is required for satellite TV.
