| 1 million dollars?

| Ihug offers sattelite dishes to home users in new zealand with a similar
| arrangement re phonel ine for outgoing data.  They charge $600 setup + $79
| per month for a 400Kbit link.  Your setup is ten times the  bandwidth for
| 1000 times the price.  Latency is reportedly about 0.1 second.  I believe
| they're moving into the Australian market.

They have.

They charge $550 US per 64/Kb. You can start from as little 64Kb.
Traffic over 1Mb is $500 US per 64Kb I think...

I'm not sure they offer anything outside of Capital Cities yet so you'd
have to check that.
