Broadband satellite via LEOs isn't ready for prime time, and McCaw isn't going to launch anything until it's all ironed out. McCaw has some very smart engineers working for him, some of the best. You're probably right about the spectrum, but Ellipso also has some patents.

Given McCaw's association with Microsoft, I wouldn't be surprised if part of the impetus is the drive to own a monopoly.
