Starband is the biggest as far as I know. They might even be the only one at this point (with two way sattelite connection - direcTV has been beaming down from for years, but you have to connect up through regular means.) Starband seems cool. Heavily backed by microsoft. Plus it uses USB instead of ethernet to connect to your computer and that is very weird (especially since Microsoft is not even going to support USB in Windows XP.) Connections are fast, but the latency is high, so it would be bad for on line gaming.
Streaming digital video wirelessly from a camera onto the web is one of the cooler things I can think of.
