Good point. Not everybody is interested in monitoring the one way  
downlinks on the majority of these more recent birds. Why is it that  
there is no problem getting large numbers of these types of satellites  
into orbit, yet good old fashioned two way linear and FM transponder  
birds are relatively far and few between?
