It would be ludicrously expensive. If "different orbits" means different orbital inclinations, you would be better off launching another satellite for each one. It's that expensive (there's at least one case of a satellite operator sending the satellite to the Moon and back, as it was cheaper).
If it meant different orbits as different altitudes, that would still be expensive if we wanted to allow anyone to request a different one and the 90 minutes figure would change.
By exclusion, they probably mean 16 tracks indeed.
