First, this subject is oooooollld.....i read about that already years ago.

Second, as if we really need MORE ads in our life ? The internet consists of already 50% spam-garbage....television increases it's commercial time from year to year. i have a reason that i rarely watch tv.

third, despites the usual arguments against it (incl. more space waste orbiting earth) i know at least ONE group which wold be *especially* pissed: Amateur Astronomers !!
