I don't see it that way.
Every project is a set of people who have participated in what is
at first something technical, then magical. I have never talked
with someone who has worked on something going into space
that hasn't set back at some point and marveled at it. How many
folks have we all done demos for, and heard "Wow......!" ?
With the technology to get things into some kind of orbit
coming down, its only reasonable to expect that more and more
organizations will make the attempt. Some will get amateur
licenses just so they can to telemetry, but there is an interesting
effect there, which is that some of them stick around and
become hams, as oposed to just being licensed.
I've met two people who were in some project and got licences,
and once they attended a Dayton Hamvention, they were hooked.
I've seen one of them several times now, at Dayton.
So sure, we offer cheap telemetry but the side effects are priceless.
