Good idea Rony. But to sustain a satellite for 15 years you need to pay
anual maintainance fee to some agency. How do you plan to arrange that fee
That money can be used to implement content distribution using
IP-over-Boeing-737 and IP-over-Courier/Postal instead, and it will still be
cheaper.
Star, Zee, Sony and other broadcasters should send us plane loads of CDs
and DVDs of their programmes every month instead of satellite
transmission. ;) World Space Radio should follow suit. The Boeing-737
can have a small opening in its belly so that the packages can be
dropped over our buildings while the plane is in flight itself.
BTW, world space was created with the intention of reaching out all the
inaccessible areas of Asia and Africa. They started with free
transmission for some years.
The big distro players can make the Linux Download Satellite possible.
Mark Shuttleworth has also been a space tourist.
