I noticed in ViaSat's help section this topic, Lease options designed to serve variety of customers and budgets, and the following "fake" sentence,
"Because our equipment is specifically designed for Viasat, customers must lease from us the equipment required to access the Viasat Internet satellite signal."
Really...how about " specifically designed by Viasat," rather than "for." Was "Exede" a different company than ViaSat...did I miss out on their IPO? "Lease from us," right.
Translation - ViaSat's marketing department examined cable companies practice of "milking consumers" via modem charge, and it was decided to follow suit. "Me too...monkey see, monkey do" marketing.
