Really?
Satellite broadband is available, but rather limited. Yes DBS could dedicate
all of it's existing spectrum to broadband, but the number of homes it could
support at higher bit rates is severely limited. They would need fleets of spot
beam satellites to re-use the spectrum efficiently enough to cover s meaningful
number of homes.
