Been There, Done That.
15 years ago, the company I worked for dropped a 50meter earth
station and the rights to four transponders for 25 years on a
project that was donated to a non-us telco to reduce the costs
of transporting and housing 300 engineeers a quarter to/from
the US. It was a very cheap alternative.
