license? just for a test... who cares? same like the pringels antennas they are not legal here but we use it sometimes :-)

but you are right that there are some problems.
the main idea wasn´t really to use the AO-40, it was only to show up that S-Band is used to communicate with a satellite. so it might be possible, if you have a very strong signal, to use the satellite as relay for a WLAN.
