According to an article in Technology Review this month, the company RaySat has created a flat antenna that measures only two inches and is capable of receiving satellite television and Internet connections to a drive.
The antenna may be fitted in private cars, trains, buses and planes and will be marketed in the U.S. market by Audiovox.
Customers who already have satellite TV service at home will only have to pay extra to add a mobile service.

The progress of this new mobile antenna system is the size that is much smaller than comparable products. According to Technology Review's predictions, it is expected that the market for entertainment devices in vehicles to reach 18 million units within two years, so demand for the new antenna RaySat could shoot in the coming months. In fact the company planned an IPO in 2006.
