(Kevin Gordon)", "date": "2011-10-30T21:50:38Z", "parent": null, "children": [], "votes": { "likes": 0, "dislikes": 0, "status": "neutral" }, "content": "This would open a lot of legal considerations in the US with respect to \nprohibition for remuneration for amateur radio services.\n\nThe argument can be made that if a station is only serving to RECEIVE \ntransmissions, then the data gathering for hire may be legal, \nirrespective if the satellite were using amateur, scientific or \ncommercial frequencies. This is because reception is not regulated by \nthe FCC.\n\nIf the station were to tele-command the satellite on amateur \nfrequencies, then transmissions would be for hire and thus prohibited.\n\nThe bigger issue is one of politics and cooperation. Serving as a no \ncost service has the political benefit of potentially \"getting a ride\" \nwhich has a bigger monetary benefit that providing an earth station for \nhire.\n\nOf course there is the possibility of constructing a global network to benefit a start up like SPACE-X on a quasi-commercial basis that could include a ride along agreement. This network would of course have to avoid the amateur frequencies.\n\n\n-- \nJoe Leikhim\n\nLeikhim and Associates\nCommunications Consultants\nOviedo, Florida\n\nwww.Leikhim.com\n\[email protected]\n\n407-982-0446\n\n", "attachments": [] }
