Abstract
The introduction of small dish satellite services based on broadcast geostationary satellites has led to a number of experiments designed to exploit the novel features of such a network. The DARPA Wideband Experiment in the US, Project Nadir in France, a proposed German experiment and project UNIVERSE in the UK are all active in this area. These novel features include very low error rates, broadcast transmission, very high data rates but also long delays.
