- lb1lf 7y agoThat it can, but IIRC it does so by relaxing the timing constraints and halving the number of slots in each channel. Still leaves them with the interesting problem of the satellite necessarily seeing a lot of handsets at the same time; methinks even if all other engineering issues were magically resolved, they'd run out of bandwidth real fast. (Not to mention the regulatory hurdles.)
