Very nice, but you need a suitable receiver. It will not be cheap. Governments can block its import. Plus there’s the problem of latency. 1/4 second. No way to overcome that one.
Maybe they can get the democrats to declare that internet access is an entitlement, and instead of obamaphones they will be giving the “poor” their very own sattelite modems.

Along with a great big red "vote Rat" button for the coming all electronic voting systems controlled from central government servers.

Plus there’s the problem of latency. 1/4 second. No way to overcome that one. That would be for geosynchronous satellites. Apparently this system involves a large number of satellites in much lower orbits. Anyway, apparently the initial implementation will be one-way broadcast only.
