“…Nevertheless, use BSS space segment to receive (by the Navy) causes no harm to anybody. Besides, Worldspace in [17] has said its system will also deliver multimedia services such as large database downloads to PCs for business applications (these users are not likely qualified as "the general public"). Also to promote DBS services in the US, the FCC in 1987 has permitted the use of some of the BSS Ku-Band space segment to services other than BSS [18]; it is not clear whether the FCC permission is still valid.…”

“…Currently there are BSS Ku-Band space segment available to broadcast TV programs, including those from GEO DBS-1 and DBS-2 satellites used by DirectTV and USSB in the U.S [16]. In a near future there are also BSS L-band (1467 -1492 MHz) space segment available to broadcast radio and multimedia data, including those from the three Worldspace GEO satellites to cover Asia, Africa and Latin America [17].…”

This paper compiles and evaluates services that use commercial communication satellites for possible usage by the Navy. It also addresses rules and regulations associated with these services. The main conclusions that can be drawn from the evaluation are: i) in order to provide communications from mobile earth stations (e.g., Naval planes or vessels), it is necessary to use MSS frequencies to comply with ITU's rules and regulations and ii) the MSS frequencies available commercially (now or in the foreseeable future) are very limited in bandwidth (only available at VHF/UHF, L-Band and S-Band) and are all used for "off-the-shelf services that provide only voice and low bit rate (<_ 64 kbps) data communications.
