I looked around their web site, but couldn't find them anywhere. Probably ISP-dependent, I suppose... It may not be so easy to take one of these things mobile - the web page says the equipment needs to be installed by one of their trained technicians, so they know where you are, though it may not really be that hard to move and aim, if you know where the bird is. The other problem, from a cypherpunks perspective, is that you're still dependent on the Internet service provider, so if there's a complaint that the machine at 192.9.200.1 has been sending politically incorrect material, it can still be shut down from the service provider end. But at least it doesn't tell them where your cabin in Montana is, if you've gone and moved the dish. Thanks!
