WildBlue Satellite Internet has not been around much more than a couple of years, but last week they had an announcement that should send the company into the wild blue yonder.

WildBlue Satellite announced that they have cut a five year deal to be the exclusive provider of Broadband Satellite High Speed internet Access to both DirecWay Satellite and EchoStar Satellite. EchoStar is the parent company of the Dish Network Satellite TV, while DirecWay is the name DirecTV has been using for its Satellite Internet operations.

Last month DirecWay changed their name to HughesNet, yet it appears by this announcement, that the DirecWay name will still be around.
