Comsat unveils plan for eight satellites serving U S and Puerto Rico
Comsat proposes two main satellites and a spare to deliver television, telephone and data services nationwide for about 243 million dollars. The system could cut current rates by roughly half and save about 40 million annually. Eight craft would orbit 22 300 miles above the equator between 94 and 124 W, with AT&T access and Canada and the United States planning simultaneous launches. Each satellite plus a large earth station could support 14 400 telephone circuits or 24 color TV channels or over a billion bits per second of data.
