AFEXpress - Satellite Internet
![]() Your Companies' Co-Branded Satellite Internet Service
America’s Family Entertainment, Inc. ("AFE"), offers two broadband Internet access solutions. Both products are readily available today for your company to co-brand, with AFE. Through co-branding, your Company can represent AFEXpress as your own "High Speed Satellite Internet service." Your Company will retain ownership rights to your customer base and AFE can arrange to have your Company's logo placed on the customer's dish antenna.
There are no commitments required from you for a minimum customer subscription service, nor are there any fixed access fees for the Retail Dealer's network connection to the Internet. By partnering with AFE, you receive monthly revenue of $9.00 per subscriber and hold ownership rights to your customer. In that respect, you have sufficient incentive to develop your business without any quotas.
AFEXpress is a product designed for the home or business that wants to have broadband "High Speed" Internet. Access speeds of up to 400k are available. AFEXpress requires an .88 meter satellite antenna and modem card connected to your customer's PC. Your customer's equipment cost is $229.99, plus a $99.00 installation fee, for an internal PC card and modem and $329.99, plus a $99.00 installation fee, for an external modem.

(As Further Note: For AFE Retail Dealer cost, consult "Dealer Economics.) Monthly cost for your customer's Internet access service, which includes local ISP, is $39.99.
