Think Western Union would donate it to netnews. We could use it
to send mail. Get in a few Hundred megabytes every orbit. Europe
could stop complaining about net.general (personally I stoped
reading it long ago).

Wow a 100 million dollar tax writeoff if we make a non profit
foundation to handle the work. Bet at 200 miles you don't need
half of the ground station you need at 22,000 miles.

So Phil what would we need. Any ideas. I think it is a simple
6-8 GHZ link. Sounds like modified satilite TV hardware.

I'll volunteer a machine to act as Northeast USA gateway.
