Just a novice guess here, but aren't the geostationary orbits MUCH higher than our satellites run? And therefore cost a lot more to get boosted to that orbit?

Hello Hope Everyone is doing Well, I know people say no such thing as a dumb question So here goes What is the reason We do not have any Type of geostationary Satellites. Is it because they are for World Wide Use and If stationary one could Hit it 24/7 and Maybe park there butt on it and Run a Beam and Amp and take it over
Thanks
