Trevor,

Bill is right on about propulsion systems.  There are several types of
thrusters being worked on.  Most are being pitched to extend the life of LEO
cubesats, but in principle they could get us to MEO.  As always, cost is a
huge factor.  When the Boeing rep says after a vendor presentation, "You
what HOW MUCH for that?!" you know there are cost issues.  ;)
