> The most you'd be able to push through the air is a few Gigs Total capacity isn't the key, here. It's latency. And you're really exaggerating the impact air has on the speed of radio propagation. When you take into account the physical latency of the distance to satellites in geo stationary orbit, it's easy to see that a microwave network can be faster. If you're using non-geostationary satellites for communication, you have to negotiate the infrastructure changing out from under you constantly. Reliability is key for these networks. Waiting milliseconds for your physical layer to switch to a new satellite means you lose. QoS also adds significant latency. It's not a viable choice for extremely low-latency networks. As an aside, you'll probably get a more positive response around here if you endeavour to keep your comments from getting so emotionally laden ... saying bullshit multiple times doesn't do anything to strengthen your argument.
