All,
My post above about Starlink refers.
While it is not GEO in the ham sense, some other possibilities come to mind.
Now it is conceivably possible to operate EchoLink stations remotely from the boonies.
Also, it will be possible to operate a number of remote HF stations via Starlink VOIP and Remotehams.com
All of this can already be done via the
Internet of course, provided you have a fast Internet connection at home in the city.
Just stating the obvious.

Jean Marc:
I wholeheartedly agree with the idea that QO-100 is very much in the Ham Spirit and it would be wonderful for North and South America to be in the footprint of a similar bird. The essence of my position is that we in this hemisphere should focus on the science and technology training and international good will aspects of a GEO mission as I believe those areas will benefit the most, and likely gather the most resources.
GEO or BUST!
