To Bernard again: "Concerning the demand for broadband, it is huge. ... However, if there is one thing I am sure of, Skystation does not stand a chance." While your technical judgement is no doubt solid, the demand side of the equation does leave some room for other alternatives besides terrestrial broadband of whatever flavor and satellite IMO. Perhaps that will be "x" and not Skystation. :-) The idea that some alternative will fail because it is frozen out because demand is "saturated" is an extremely difficult proposition - especially if that demand is "huge". Your bottom line is probably correct, Skystation will not be a success, but just skeptical that the deciding factor will be insufficient demand. Anyway, time will tell if we are all alive and still interested in all this years from now. As always, respect. Chaz
