GERMANTOWN, Md., Nov. 15/Satnews Daily/ ¾ Telkonet, Inc. (Amex:TKO), which provides broadband access over existing electrical wiring, announced Friday a strategic alliance with ViaSat, provider of innovative satellite communications services. Under this alliance, Telkonet will offer ViaSat's wide array of satellite services along with Telkonet's proven high-speed Internet access system to deliver a complete broadband solution for the enterprise marketplace.
