I probably do not know what this is all about, *but* I am on Starband
satellite, and when I press the "send" button the message goes out from my
antenna to the satellite. Starband has the license and I am "leasing" a
portion of their bandwidth. Same with the satellite phone I had overseas.
The license is for the frequency, whether the transmitter sends to a
satellite or a terrestrial tower. The user is, by extension, granted a
license by the company that has the frequency rights. But maybe I probably
do not know what the situation is?

First, my condolences for being on StarBand. Second, you are mostly right
about the legal situation. That is why you had to pay someone to install
your system, who was a representative of StarBand. That way, only
"authorized personnel" got to play with the alignment of the transmitted
signal. If they had screwed it up and caused problems, it would have been
StarBand culpable, not you.

In my case, the antenna is receive-only, so there is no (legal) fault that
attaches to a bad installation.
