Subject: BPL Powers Off
From: (Brian Kelly) Date: 8/19/2004 8:38 AM Central Standard Time Message-id: (N2EY) wrote in message ... In article , (Brian Kelly) writes: Say you orbit a new, state of the art satellite. How much bandwidth can it provide to how many customers? A whole bunch. Even the old birds which have been up for years can repeat something like 900 TV channels and those are not considered high-capacity satellites. That means 900 customers can have 6 MHz of bandwidth each. Or maybe 5400 can have 1 MHz each. That's with antique satellites, not with the monster birds being tossed up these days each of which which has orders of magnitude more capacity than the TV repeaters. For the quality of TV programming provided today (with the possible exclusion of Discovery, History Channel and TLC) they could just use one of the old ECHO balloon satellites for all they are worth. 73 Steve, K4YZ |
