IGS-1a is NOT geostationary, they are orbiting god damn it!

For that 50k community to have a quasilive image feed from a satellite every 4 minute, they need something like 25 satellite in orbit exclusive passing over their head. Every person in that community needs to be billionairs to be able to afford that kind of service.

I'm not saying they dont have the images - all im saying is, its not satellite based.
