3mbps on a ship at 5:1 tdma oversubscribed is about 16k a month on c band a=
nd probably about 12k a month on ku if you find someone with good water cov=
erage (ge23 is a good example of a killer oceanic spacecraft). The auto sta=
bilized antenna (at least 1.8m but preferably larger up to 3.6)is going to =
start at 40k and end at 200 for the giant ones. Then.. You have to find a p=
rovider that doesn't suck. And there are literally 3 in the entire world th=
at don't completely suck.
I won't get started on pricing for planes.. ;)

These prices are low if it's INMARSAT. We pay ~$7/minute. If
they have their own Ku-band (hopefully not as 12-18Ghz has a
lot of rain fade) that seems high. C-band (4-8Ghz) on ships
is much better. Not a lot of perks for being bored out at sea
for long periods of time.
