Thats reasonable, but the opposite of the current situation on cable.
Freedom plan is unlimited, but not for business use. At around $70/month,
I could live with th 400kbps choke. Still an order of magnitude
improvement. Satellite has a 3GB/month residential limit which is OK.
  Business pay ridiculous volume rates after 500MB/1GB. $260/GB is
absolutely digusting price-gouging.

  Someone said at the PLUG meet that prices were on Telstras web site. Not
true is it?

[ObOnT] Telstra is a big place, with lots of Linux users. Dont expect
official support, but Linux will likely work, as it does with cable.
