Hi dvdw, Well now you've teased my interest. Perhaps you can lend some insight into two big questions I've been struggling with? Since all satellites (dvb) are above the equator and they are spaced 9 degrees apart from eachother - would the phase shift array have 49 loops each 9 degrees around a circular pattern underneath the low profile antennae? I'm guessing Kvhi's Dshaped fiber senses which 9 Degree loops picks up the strongest signal and that is the meaning of "phaseshifting". It is a motionless capability of shifting to the strongest signal. Thus mobile communication is maintained. Second - when people thought an infrastructure could never be built to accomodate wireless telephones now almost everywhere - how long did it take for folly to become reality?? I suspect a much quicker adoptation in these digital times. Lastly would stratollites provide the cheaper in between step - thus accelerate the adoptation and/or make satellites cost prohibitive.To some degree the internet has made satellites expensive.GM is considering using the net in lieau of their Pulsat sysytem as Pulsat (the largest private satellite network in the world) is expensive. All conversation encouraged. Bob
