Here is a white paper from 1996 that describes what the technology then would do for the number of voice circuits over a 54 MHz Ku-band transponder on Thaicom 2. They got 3,600 simultaneous circuits. That would equate to ALL the gateways in North America, with the max number of circuits installed! BUT, the transponder would lease for roughly $2 million annually. So, if cost is the #1 factor, GEO will win in rural telephony.
