I agree. If you recall, spot beams are what, 400 or so miles in diameter? There are sub-carriers within each spot beam. Don't recall the details, but I think something like 8 sub-carriers per. Individual accounts get assigned to a sub-carrier, and subsequently to an associated gateway server (although I suspect some doubling up in sparsely populated areas). Assuming sub-carriers divide a spotbeam geographically, 50 miles can make a big difference. I really don't see how this can be done without HughesNet cooperation at the NOC end.(not likely)
