Regarding the bandwidth allocated to satellite operators in the Ka band, GEO and LEO satellites have the entire 28.35GHz to 30 GHz band, with more spectrum to be allocated at higher frequencies. So satellite operators have plenty of spectrum. If you read material posted on the Skybridge and Cyberstar websites, you will see they plan to offer broadband data services for $40 to $50 a month. expect therefore a ferocious competition between terrestrial and satellite operators, with terrestrial companies dominating in dense urban environments, and satellite everywhere else.
