President Kennedy asked Congress to charter the Communications Satellite Corporation with over 1 billion dollars of Class A voting stock offered to the public and carriers. The plan aims to fund a worldwide space relay network for radio, TV, and telephone, with private ownership emphasized but open to public investment and communications firms. Estimates place initial costs high and profitability years away, with some private firms formerly optimistic now projecting 1965 launch readiness.
