Thanks Jeff. Barring ground station relays and repeaters, etc, what would prevent anyone from launching a satellite with the intent of broadcasting digital radio signals to the USA. Why would an FCC license matter in this case. My satellite system picks up everything from Tennessee to the Ukraine for free. Afristar put a serviceable satellite up for 700 million. You know damn well that the average african could not possibly afford a $200 dollar radio. What is going on here? This Afristar thing is definitely targeting the world and has so far beat the us in U.S. to it at a fraction of the cost. FM radio will go the way of AM (and that is deserved by the idiot program directors too lazy to find new music to play) but now we will have to pay a monthly subscription price to listen. Who do you think will charge more: CDRD with almost a billion spent and promised to Loral and such to launch by the year 2000- or the Afristar/Ameristar deal already up and running. Also, don't you think SKYC/XM/Worldspace have a common goal? Who owns who here? Sounds like a sure thing to me - problem is I can't figure out which rich nomad oil-rad group is financing the whole deal and whether a major skyc announcement is in the works... james
