Thanks for the link - iSKY website confirms that the end-user will indeed have 2 way communication with the geosynchronous satellite. The 2 way technology will be a formidable task. Similar 2-way operations are done with cellular phones, although only in "cells" of a few square miles each. iSKY will need to do a lot of work to make sure their system can work reliably with millions of 2 way users, some will have malfunctioning equipment. Also there could be sophisticated "hackers" transmitting to the satellite, trying to disrupt things. ILG
