Advertising in satsig satellite internet forum

The purpose of the forum is to facilitate communications between people involved in satellite communications.  These people include satellite operators, service providers, local installers, sales agents, end user customers, both large and small businesses and home users.

Postings asking for help and advice are not a problem.

Regarding manufacturers and service providers wanting to sell equipment and services there is a problem however.  On the one hand, I welcome, in moderation, factual information about your products and services.  This is of value and informs the potential customer.  What I dislike is what might be described as blatant advertising and marketing / sales spam.  If you want to mention your product / service please try to make the text of your contribution so that 90% of the text is educational informative explanation and only 10% is sales language.

Duplicate multiple postings of similar information will be treated as spam and are regularly deleted. If you feel a need to update information please find your earlier message and add a new reply there.  Do not start a new thread.

Please no not use all UPPER CASE letters and this is considered SHOUTING and annoys many people.

If you mention the price for a shared VSAT service you must include an explanation of the sharing ratio or how a fair access policy is applied.   Provide details in the format, for example, "256/1024 kbit/s 10:1 US$ 768 per month".

Do not use the word "unlimited" or similar expressions unless the sharing ratio is 1:1 i.e. dedicated continuous information rate, CIR or SCPC.    Avoid superlative words like best, fastest, cheapest etc.  These are banned words.

You are encouraged to incorporate images in your postings.  An image needs to be on a web server, where it will have a file name like

http://www.satsig.net/ssllogo.gif

If the image is not already on the internet you will need to upload the image file to your own server, to a third party image repository or send it to me by email.  eric@satsig.net   When you put the image into your forum message, do it like this:

[img]http://www.satsig.net/ssllogo.gif[/img]

Images pulled from other servers than satsig.net may be copied to the satsig server and edited to reduce file size, add explanatory annotations etc.

Postings are frequently amended or removed by moderators and the forum admin.
