DISADVANTAGES OF SATELLITE COMMUNICATION

As the technology advances there are better ways of doing every thing. Like fro example, decades ago, people have no choice but to travel distances to deliver a letter or a news but now satellite communication is available. Like every thing else there certain disadvantages of the satellite communication, despite being the latest and the most advanced medium of communication –

• The satellite communication is really very expensive. This is only in the reach of the rich and the powerful. A middle income person can’t even think of utilizing this.
• As the satellite is placed really away from the earth there is a time lag between the time a message is sent and delivered. In the cell phones it is done there and then. This is very annoying and disrupts the message as well.
• These satellite communication phones can’t work when you are inside a building. These can though work in air. These satellite communication phones need to be exposed to the sky for them to be functional.
