Raymond:

Satellites are not immune to those darned principles of physics either, so the same rules of thumb apply. The difference comes in the use of spot beams that allow frequency reuse. The new systems plan to use a slew of tightly focused spot beams to cover the US for instance, which allows for these higher throughputs. Switching onboard the sats allows for transmission between beams. A giant scale cell of sorts actually. The bands are C, Ku, and Ka from low to high, roughly 3000 MHz to 20-30 GHz, with plans on the board for V-band systems above that. Hope that helps.
