[QUOTE="Analoguesat, post: 567909, member: 176362"] I think the maximum in Europe co-located so far has been 7 (Astra 1's at 19E) and 6 (Hotbirds at 13E) Dont forget the satellite companies dont launch 2 satellites every year - many years none are launched. Theres a fair few launches at the moment as the companies are renewing existing capacity - remember most satellites are replacement capacity NOT new capacity. The frequency range CANT be extended - the adjacent spectrum isnt empty - much of it is used by the military and other organisations. It would take years to get international agreement to clear out 13 / 14 GHz. SES cant just start transmitting in an adjacent band just because they have run out of space :D The next big jump in tecuhnology will be Ka band transmissions. [/QUOTE]
