Uhhh, I think you have to have a landline for those satellite internet services...... the landline sends packet requests and data out and the satellite just receives the incoming datastream.
Not to mention that there are *already* several channels within the CB band that are used for Radio Control; these frequencies could easily be pressed into service without causing interference to "regular" 40-channel CB AM voice traffic. These RC frequencies lie between some of the CB channels that are spaced widely as an artifact of the old 23-channel CB days.
I wrote a note to the CAIB back when they were still searching for debris and just started talking about testing the foam impact idea: I simply pointed out that there was a complete shuttle airframe at the Huntsville, Alabama Air and Space museum that might be useful for destructive testing of the airframe. It looks like they took the advice to heart.
I was told during a visit to the museum that NASA had come and collected flyable parts for the Solid Rocket Boosters off that display. And now, they are using a slice of wing for foam impact studies. Cool!

(from the description at www.ibiblio.org) College Linux CollegeLinux is a new, stand-alone operating system based on Slackware Linux and created by the Robert Kennedy College, Delémont, Switzerland. The aim of this experimental Linux distribution is to provide to RKC students and student population at large with an operating system which is easy to install and use and which provides an alternative to the traditional commercial operating systems. Yawn!

Just a thought.
