In an attempt to remove one of the biggest barriers for new sign-ups, WildBlue will offer a leasing program for CPE, significantly reducing total upfront fees by over 50% to $149.95. The program also provides for “free” installation of the service. The new lease fee will total $5.95/month. “The Lease Program will help new customers get WildBlue for a significantly lower upfront investment, making our award-winning service available to more people throughout rural America,” said David Leonard, WildBlue’s Chief Executive Officer. Customers can also opt for a pre-payment of a 24 month lease for $99.95.
