Does anyone have any experience with the BGAN Satellite system ("http://www.inmarsat.com/Services/Land/BGAN/default.aspx") (short for Broadband Global Area Network)?

It uses a portable satellite terminal that is about the size of a laptop and claims speeds up to 492 kbps in both directions.

I'm assuming the price is astronomical. I've sent a request for prices on equipment and service plans.
