I WANT TO START MY SMALL VOIP BUSINESS THROUGH VSAT CONNECTION? WHAT ABOUT ITS COST? I NEED SOME IDEA…PLZ?

Generally speaking, satellite Internet is not suitable for VoIP communications.
Why? Because satellites are are so far away from the earth, radio signal propogation delays make voice delays impractical for normal voice conversations. So, duplex conversations (like on normal telephone or cell conversations) are not practical or even possible because of the excessive delays between speaking and hearing. The VoIP callers would need to adopt a "simplex" process of talking to each other (like with 2-way radio, were you take turns talking, one at a time).
VSAT may be ok for publishing your web site, email marketing or customer support, and file transfers, but if you intend to have a VoIP proxy server over satellite, you will be dissapointed in the results. And, your customers will not likely be happy either.
Have you tested any VoIP services with your VSAT connection? You definately need to test the viablity of VoIP over satellite for yourself before going into a business venture that depends on quality connections.
Try testing with low-cost, pay-as-you-go, BYOD (bring your own device) services like CallCentric, Skype, Gizmo5, Yahoo Voice, Efonica, etc.

I am not so familiar with VSAT. but I had the same idea as yours.
I personally loved and still use VoIP with video and it has changed the way we communicate, literally. My two year old daughter is so used to seeing her grandma through the video phone that when she call through my cell, my daughter doesn't even want to talk to her
since we loved it so much, we also looked for a way to share it with family and friends, and make a little profit on the side as well.
we compared companies, and one stood out, it did not only give us access to VoIP phones and services but also cell phones and satellited TV. Now we are partnered with all the major carrieres, like ATT, Sprint, Verizon etc. and even Direct Tv.
It's name is ACN
