3mbps on a ship at 5:1 tdma oversubscribed is about 16k a month on c band ----------------------------------------------------------- There're 43200 minutes in a month. Just to be fast, the article said 1.5Mbps link, so I used 1/2 of your $16K. Divide the $8K by 43200 and I get 18 cents per minute. Also, I completely missed that there was a page 2. It looks like they use Iridium. Here is some pricing. Just the first thing I found: http://www.sattransusa.com/irprpl.html Plan Monthly Amount Monthly Allowance Cost per 1000 Bytes Plan SBD 0 $27.00 0 Bytes $1.15 Plan SBD 12 $35.10 10,000 Bytes $1.05 Plan LBS 8* $28.78 8,000 Bytes $1.78 scott
