<< I'm still not sure what FTRK offers. Is is a TV?
Or is it voice and data communications like SKYC's? Does FTRK's product do
position tracking, too? >>

My inquiry to FutureTrak was limited to their product's application to
DSS users and also DISH subscribers that may soon find themselves
having to deal with programming coming from several differently
positioned satellites. Echo I&II in a different part of the sky than EchoIII, and Echo IV another yet, maybe.
The Flat Planar will supposedly work seamlessly with existing
receivers to "absorb" signal from the respective transmitter it
was instructed to track and lock onto. This ability to "jump back
and forth" between differently positioned satellites seems unique
considering it is not a mechanically based process. The Flat Planar
accomplishes its task from within its flat sealed enclosure.

My question at this point is... what is the market potential for
such a product, given an estimated beginning price point of approximately $3,400 ?

I doubt the average DISH or DSS subscriber could justify such costs.

Other applications abound. Marine, military, any application in
a which the conspicuous "generic parabolic dish" design is
seen as undesirable.

Any thoughts on a particular market this product might rapidly
penetrate?
