   “Many government offices located in remote and rural areas have been struggling to leverage a 20th century telecommunications infrastructure to manage 21st century applications. With Connect & Express for Government, these remote offices only need a view of the southern sky to get cost-effective broadband Internet service, so they can confidently run the high-bandwidth applications to help them operate more efficiently and effectively,” Hughes Assistant Vice President for Government Solutions Tony Bardo said in a statement.
