said by silbaco:I still wonder how this system will work when flying outside ViaSat-1 coverage and into WB-1 & Anik-F2 coverage.
Either they reserve a dedicated data rate for those airplanes all the time, or they don't.
If Committed Data Rate is all the time, then no effect perceived when they fly over those beams. But, if CDR is given to them only when they fly over a beam, then when they fly over, users data rate will fall.
Until this system is approved and operational, we won't know where it will be implemented, as in only Exede-12 beams or in both Exede-5/12 beams.
However, they could "share the pain" with all users when they fly over, but that video is suggesting a CDR plan, which would cost more.
