Not sure if this illustration is correct............. the sky is the limit? If a TV programme can be broadcasted without a satellite in the late 20's, that might mean images could be sent without a satellite?

Shall for high security communication purpose,  a satellite is put up, what is the story on competition to cover the earth with it? 😳

To deflect potential hit of asteroid? 😯

 

 

A theory was up recently........... will pool game be helpful to knock it off?? Say M1V1 = M2V2. Anyone is up to do a simulation? 👾

Probably looking for

Making a bit of a comeback lately, at least in Russia. (US and USSR both used to use this to communicate with some military junk in the polar region)

No very much faster. 

If at all. You use light from lasers in international fiber optic.   Satellite transmissions require electromagnetic  spectrum. EU and FCC aren't selling any right now unless you are willing to go back to the sub 540 khz range. (old AM radio frequency)

International phone calls over fiber are already possible.  One of the advantages of space-based communication is that light travels faster in a vacuum, reducing latency. 

If you believe that I have a massive swamp on the bottom of the ocean to sell you. 

Do you also believe there are chiefs in Ghana who do not know how to get rid of their gold?

Do you also believe there are hot 19 year old women just waiting for your highness to collect them?

Light is part of the electromagnetic spectrum. However, tightbeam communications are not necessarily subject to FCC-like regs, because there is no broadcast involved. Knock yourself out if you want more detail

There is nothing unusual about freespace laser coms

Yes I do Ron, the picture quality was stunning as compared to Dish. Night and day, most HD is done by the sports industry and watching those programs in Off The Air broadcasting left a very bad taste in my mouth. 

I switched from Dish to youtubetv, now they want me to pay extra for HD. They do show a few things in HD for some reason.

No there is nothing unusual but if you want to operate one at more than 10 watts you have to have an FCC license. https://www.caci.com/sites/default/files/2020-10/F506_201023_CICADA_LaserComm.pdf

Just when did you get a license to practice law in the US Judicial System?   I got mine from the US Supreme Court in 1981.
