It means Jack's comments about a landline with satellite internet, which is different from wireless internet, are not relevant. Think of Wireless internet as the same thing as your smart phone uses, but plugged in so you can use it in your house. It might use some type of dish receiver, but the transmission towers are almost certainly sitting on the ground somewhere nearby, compared to in space, like a satellite. Real satellite internet, only does download through a satellite, and upload through what is essentially dialup modem, since you couldn't transfer back up to the satellite from your house.

Almost certainly, your phone, internet and TV (satelite) services will be unbundled and with separate providers.

Likely, you will end up with:
Bell or Shaw Direct for TV
Xplornet or Platinum for internet
Telus or VOIP solution for landline phone.

Keep in mind, even though Xplorenet and Shaw Direct (formerly Star Choice) have recently started to use Shaw's branding, they are separate entities as far as services being offer.
