Wonder if the clients of this network reduce power as cell phones do to increase battery life and reduce interference or they will use a dish on the fixed clients, not that would help with interference from the sat. The web site reads like the sat will distribute the internet signal direct to the clients: http://www.lightsquared.com/what-we-do/technology/

By the same logic, all of the office space in New York could not fit in New York. But it does because they stack it 20 or 100 floors one on top of the other. I suspect the areas will overlap with very dense coverage in urban areas. Perhaps in some places there is 50 or 100 channels of coverage and in others one or even zero. -- ===== Chris Albertson Redondo Beach, California _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
