well....Aiming at thousand foot tower from close range customers we are definitely sometimes more than 3 degrees up.  Put me in jail I guess.

    So here me out.      I've been to low earth orbit (90,000 feet) with
    equipment I can get in my basement/hardware store.   I've beamed
    signals
    back from 90,000 feet to a radio in my truck.

    I'm familiar with how AmSats work (although have not sent one up
    myself).

    What is preventing a WISP from putting together a solar powered
    GeoSync
    satellite that has a few Cambium Spots on it to fully cover your
    coverage area?

    Yes, you'd have capacity issues if you didn't plan it correctly,
    but is
    there technically any reason I can't run a 5GHz link to a satellite?
    Do you have to pay a "rental" fee to occupy a space in space to park
    your bird?

    Yes, I realize there would be latency, but if you keep the throughput
    there (something Hughes Doesn't Do), the experience wouldn't be
    half bad
    for most things..
