Nice to see some informative Big Picture discussion here.
For all its worth; I believe a cooperative effort with an established satellite builder incorporating an auxilliary payload makes more sense than an independant effort with more complexity and cost.
Agreed, more efficient use of resources.
Who really would'nt want a geosynchronise transponder?
One? Probably not (odds are it would be parked over the Atlantic, a useless location from here). 2 or 3? Definitely (global coverage, except near the poles).
