Nationwide Internet will offer these satellite services to consumers and businesses that are unable to access traditional DSL or other high-speed terrestrial Internet services and customers who desire higher speeds than dial-up. The HughesNet service offers customers Internet download speeds up to 2.0 Mbps.
"We now can offer customers who previously settled for slow dial-up speeds or had no access to DSL, especially in rural areas of the country, with a way to connect to the Internet at broadband speeds, which further expands the reach of Nationwide Internet," said Lisa Bickford, president of Nationwide Internet. "With the addition of the HughesNet satellite service, we continue strengthening and solidifying our ISP as a provider of choice for all types of connectivity to the Internet."
"With the combination of the HughesNet service, our Kite Networks' broadband wireless capabilities including Wi-Fi and pre-wi-max offerings, and our AFN Connect high-speed wireless data cards for use in laptops and desktops (via a USB port connection), we offer what we believe is the most complete menu of wireless telecom service of any company in the United States, allowing us to serve people in all 50 states with high-speed wireless Internet connections and related voice services," said Jay Wright, chairman and CEO of MobilePro Corp. "We are thrilled to be a reseller of Hughes' broadband satellite service, a leader in the satellite industry, to round out our high- speed wireless Internet product offerings."

"Hughes is meeting this demand by providing fast and reliable satellite broadband service throughout the U.S., regardless of geography, bringing all the benefits of the Internet right to their fingertips."
