Just linking to a copy of the Boardwatch article entitled “Web Proxy Caches and Sattelite-Based Bandwidth Augmentation” that was published in April 1998 as part of an ongoing series of tech articles for ISPs.
I also went into some funky routing stuff that I did with Andrew Khoo as my primary partner in crime, using satellite bandwidth to augment terrestrial E1s to bandwdith-staved areas like, at the time, .oz.
The complete list of articles that I wrote for Boardwatch are linked to in the sidebar on this site…
