Having worked the qo100 as well as LEOs, I can tell you that the elliptical orbit is no substitute for a geostationary sat. With qo100 i am on all the time, the antenna points in one direction at all times. It is GEO or bust. Get the money and get the GEO. It js worth the effort.

A Molynia or Tundra orbit is much more useful for those of us in Canada. Best to have 3 in that orbit of course and is rather less expensive to put up than a GEO. *shrug*
