Can't help with the software.  Any help regarding Stargate is always
appreciated, though it is doubtful that a private satellite
communications firm will be able to contribute much technically
at this point.  Most (if not all) of those firms operate on private
transponders which are not rebroadcast by cable companies.  One of the
basic concepts of Stargate is that if you can receive WTBS on your
local cable off the satellite, you don't normally have to have an 
earthstation.  With private transponders, you MUST have your own
dish.

Still, anybody who wants to help (particularly in the consortium 
issues now under study) is welcome.
