Apple Create Us a Satellite Network to Broadcast our Podcasts
Kelly McNeill over at osRadio has a similar idea as mine for delivering Podcasts over Satellite Radio. And while I agree with the general thought, my nly problem is there's a massive barrier to entry for Apple to overcome. Sending birds up into orbit and setting up the infrastructure for delivering satellite radio isn't a walk in the park and I don't see Apple going that route anytime soon.
Oh well, it's a neat idea tho.

It's my understanding that no other company can offer satellite radio. All the bandwidth in the useful range has been allocated to XM and Sirius. This gives these two companies a guarenteed duopoly.
I suppose Apple could put birds up and use a whole different freq. but these would require much different anntena's to receive the signal (like dish, and directtv type dishes).
I could be all wrong about this, but I think I'm right.
