The growth in demand for broadband services in the UK is being driven by the increasing availability of applications and services designed with broadband in mind. However, not every home or business in the UK is currently able to receive broadband services via the most prevalent technologies, digital cable and ADSL. It is increasingly the case that both service providers and network operators are looking to serve those locations currently not reached. Hence an opportunity has arisen for satellite operators to offer alternative broadband solutions using two main paradigms: I-way or hybrid systems and two-way systems. The characteristics of these two solutions to satellite broadband are different but in both cases it is true that applications and services developed with terrestrial broadband in mind can all be used, but do not always operate ideally over a satellite solution. In addressing the issues with satellite based broadband the current weapon of choice in the satellite operator's armoury is the performance enhancing proxy. (10 pages)
