There's at least one erroneous assumption in your back of the envelope calculation - Alphastar/Telecrossing isn't launching birds, they are leasing space on a bird someone else already launched. geamericom.com geamericom.com I believe your assumptions as to bandwidth/capacity are also erroneous, but not being an engineer, I can't explain why. GE-5 has 16 transponders, each with a 54 MHz capacity, but I have no idea what sort of data throughput that means. I think in light of the fact that we are talking about radio waves, photons, the transmission rate is greater than what goes over copper, electrons. It certainly has a greater potential speed than any other technology, 50 Mbps to 48 Gbps. andrew.cmu.edu The author of this website is expert on the issue of TCP/IP via satellite, he suggests using "multiple narrow TCP pipes," whatever that is. ee.surrey.ac.uk
