Try listening. The maritime TOR channels are some of the busiest and most interesting stuff available. They mostly serve regional traffic, and since their costs have to be lower (they don't have to put something in geosynchronous orbit), they will continue to fill that niche. If anyone should be in orbit, the gobal broadcasters should be. The ITU should work at getting a couple hundred Megahertz of exclusive allocation so that low cost satellite receivers or converter using low gain/wide beamwidth antennas are possible (for mobile applications). markz@ssc.uucp
