There was also "Planet Connect" years ago that delivered full Usenet (128K
worth) along with all my Fidonet BBS updates too .. I think I just dated
myself ;)
We still have an old Cidera system on a rooftop that nobody has taken down
yet ...

Skycache/Cidera...until it didn't fit anymore in the bandwidth they had.
IIRC, it was only around 28mbps.
Also, IIRC, that "business" was a sort of after thought after their
original plan (squid cache pre-population) didn't pan out.
Anyone want to buy some Skycache chopsticks? I think I still have a few
unopened sets from whichever late 90s ISPCon I went to in San Jose,
CA...Skycache rented out some museum for a sushi party.
