Bruce,
We are substantially in agreement, especially your assertion that there will be a community to use digital geostationary amateur satellites. But probably not the emergency communication community. I simply lack the imagination to see how they improve on existing alternatives in that domain. The essence of my concern is that we need to look for funding using justifications other than emergency communication - we are more likely to get funding by claiming other benefits. Let's focus our efforts where it will most likely bear fruit. That being said, if someone can use emergency communication as a justification to get funding I would be glad to look silly!
