Hmmm .... then how do you explain this?:
https://www.dish.com/internet/3rd-party/Per the above link if I contact my satellite TV provider that I've had for years - DISH - the above webpage sure sounds like they could also provide my Internet access via their satellites.
I guess that DISH finally realized that "satellite RF" is a delivery method that they're experts at ... so why not offer all communication into customers homes or RVs usng that method?
I assume that if I set up a portable satellite DISH at a campsite ... I could watch regular DISH TV programming, or watch regular ROKU-type Internet streaming stuff, or surf the Internet - right from my campsite anywhere and cut the RF-cord to cell towers.
Couldn't I even make smartphone regular or emergency phone calls from my RV in remote campsites with no cell tower access? If so - isn't DISH making possible "poor man's satellite phone service"?
