Broadband

Sorry for the subject line change, but I got hamfisted and trashed the originals. I believe it was Collin that asked how a satellite could handle the millions of dish-based broadband users in a large city like Phoenix. The answer is that there is no satellite, the transceiver is on a mountain south of town. The obvious incentive is that everyone within range has immediate access. The downside is that terrain can become an issue--initially there were areas of town blanketed by hills and other obstacles. They eventually put in some repeaters on the high points and now most of the valley is covered.
