LiveTV is not the only firm taking a serious look at the Ka-band satellite space. ViaSat, which is currently working with T-Mobile and others to bring a Ku-band-based in-flight connectivity service back to Lufthansa, is also keeping its fingers in the Ka pot.
Indeed, ViaSat is taking some significant initiative on this front, with plans for launching its own Ka-band satellite in a couple of years, as referenced here and here.
Asked whether ViaSat's strategy will one day involve in-flight connectivity, ViaSat director of regulatory affairs Daryl Hunter says: "I think it's safe to say that we are looking at all sorts of applications for Ka-band."
Well wink, wink to you too.
