Were I to setup for ocean crossing and remote cruising I would install one. The data rates are enough for web connectivity and charges are reasonable under the circumstances. Yes, a lot higher cost then Richard's Delorme, which is still a fabulous piece of kit. But I would want to surf the net when other crew were on watch. I would always have a couple of other people on board...
Thanks for dropin that link. Good info with in,even if you never consider buying.
