satellite internet connection in Kenya
« on: 29. Jul 2004 at 17:56 »

I am going to Kenya for a year to work for a non-profit organisation from the Netherlands. I will be needing a internet connection there, to keep the organisation informed, and my personal weblog updated. Also I want to give some computer education (I got 35 computers on the boat right now.)  
 
I was thinking the get a satellite connexion, does anyone know what it will cost?  
 
Which ISP's I can go to?  
 
What equipment can I buy? and what do you advise?

We can offer a solution based on a 2.4m C band antenna, 5 watt BUC, DRO LNB, NetModem II with cables and connectors utilizing a shared platform, powered by iDirect.  Monthly cost starts at $371. The equipment package is $7302.  I can offer the information for an installer in Cape Town if that would be helpful.  Please let me know if there is anything further I can offer.
 
Thank you.
