3mbps on a ship at 5:1 tdma oversubscribed is about 16k a month on c band
-----------------------------------------------------------
There're 43200 minutes in a month. Just to be fast, the article said 1.5Mbps
link, so I used 1/2 of your $16K. Divide the $8K by 43200 and I get 18 cents
per minute.
Also, I completely missed that there was a page 2. It looks like they use
Iridium. Here is some pricing. Just the first thing I found:
