To Slacker711: To those who may not be familiar with Ajit, he has been an active participant on the Motley Fool (now just AOL) Qualcomm and Loral boards. His idea is very imaginative as is your suggestion Slacker711. Do any of the technology wiz's here see real world possibilities in Ajit's and Slacker711's ideas? Chaz

AOL is running scared, afraid of being shut out of the world of broadband. Bob Pittman, President and COO of AOL is quoted in Business Week: "While DSL deals are an important part of AOL's broadband strategy, we anticipate working with a range of technologies--cable, wireless, and satellite---for high speed connectivity." HDR is a great solution--cheap, easy to deploy, broad coverage--it's just not ready yet. Satellite is also a great solution. A single satellite can provide coverage of North and South America and allow widespread two way internet access at high speeds. It's coming soon to an equatorial orbit near you.
