Abstract
A future National Research and Education Network (NREN) is planned to integrate all of the US research networks. A geostationary communications satellite is investigated for use with the NREN in a satellite-only configuration. Both conventional and advanced satellite designs are examined, and user costs are derived for both government and commercial system operation. The resulting costs are compared with the costs for an equivalent terrestrial network.
