Worldwide and military contracts? Hmmmmmm, MONEY! But let's see how the appreciation has gone over the years.

It shall remain to be seen if this company can reach 50 plus again, but govt. contracts are a good thing as it is sure money, and with surfbeam it allows them not only to reach all across rural America, but in countries where the people want a better and less expensive alternative to corrupt monopolies like TelMex and Cablemas, good move on Viasat's part, as the majority of people use sat systems. They will, however, have to ignore the fact that it is pirated sat tv and they can charge only for the modem service!  ;)

DishNetwork receivers are VERY hard to get in the U.S. now, unlike last year (which tells me more Americans are pirating). I also take it that more Mexicans with Visas or Americans got into the equipment game, as the price per receiver has dropped this year.

Nobody even wants Direct TV here anymore.
