MrsTurbulence et al: thanks for the info on satellite bi-directional technology. Hey look, everyone, I'm slightly less ignorant now!

The Limits of Twitter
by publius Twitter is obviously one of the big stories to come out of the Iranian election. And it's been a remarkable development -- no argument there. The tweets have been inspiring and courageous. And there's an aesthetic dimension to them that's hard to resist. But understand... the tweet...
I'm not sure that the comment about using satellite technology is correct. My understanding is that satellite Internet systems use a satellite dish to receive data, but data must being sent out via a phone line or other means. No upload from your personal satellite dish to the big satellite in the sky. And it seems the technical problem of getting your dish to exactly hit the satellite in the sky, and with enough power, would also make it near impossible.
Anyone know if I'm wrong on this?
