> I would expect the intensity of those signals to be constantly varying The problem is mostly with the frequency band, because it's regulated (or should I say pre-allocated for certain purposes). It's just too easy to notice if someone is using satellite communication, how many and where. > Satellites don't have enough fuel to constantly dodge specific countries I'm not saying they should avoid certain countries.

True. This is a progress. What I'm saying is that this is just one step, not a leap by itself. I just can't stand people's indistinction b/w progress and paradigm shift, because it's the major source of hype. You know, it takes so many steps for technology to become magic, so why can't we just sit tight and watch, instead of going full frenzy every time something happens. I mean, that's how I see all those futurology stuffs.
