Another scarce & valuable commodity...

DoD has been leasing channels on XM Satellite Radio's satellites to bounce data to "personnel in the field".* Of course this program is only being tested.

I wonder if it's cheaper to either take over XM Satellite radio or crank up the plutonium production line again.

Hmmm... what's under the trajectory of those satellite launches?

(Edited to add the XMSR link in Business Week.)
