if a you hung a wire across a blind man's property, would you be using his right-of-way? Just because you don't see the satellite wavelength doesn't mean they're not using right of way. It's called violating air space when an unauthorized plane flies over other countries air space. The satellite companies use the public airways to make money, the government should get the same fees for using the right of way from satellite customers as they do from phone and cable.
