First of all, it wouldn't work in door or near trees or buildings. Secondly, it would require a very large antenna - much larger than the BB to begin with. Lastly, non-terrestrial based high speed data is extremely expensive. The single most valuable resource on a sat is...... electricity! The run for decades on solar power alone and when you get billed for a data draw from someone like Ardis, they charge you based on the power you've used - which is directly related to the gain on your antenna...


Class dismissed....
