A number of questions about Stargate:

1) How will Stargate accomodate sites that are cut off from the link for
several hours or a couple of days do to storms, cable outages, or system
crashes?

2) How will Stargate affect those sites that cannot obtain cable TV or
a TVRO viz a] news feed b]article reply/followup

3) Will it be possible to cheaply implement "local Stargates" based on
local TV stations for those in condition (2) above, in terms of a head-end
encoder and decoder boxes?

4) Could such a local system retransmit Stargate traffic?
