In the not too distant future (as in, it is being worked on right now), 
some operators will be carrying the traffic of other operators.  ie, 
backbone operators in the sky will have a good foot print of ground 
stations, and will be providing backbone operations to satellite 
operators who don't have a large ground footprint (this is the sky to 
sky to ground scenario, vs the broadband up-down scenario).

There then needs to be some sort of interoperability of the carrier vs 
the end-user in terms of how to get a endnode-satellite's data 
encapsulated across a carrier's satellite network down to the ground and 
then over to the subscriber's site in a real-time fashion.
