A colleague and I wrote a big long letter to the Canadian gov't about how terrible direct-to-cell satellites are for astronomy (radio and optical). And I found out today that national groups (CASCA *and* ACURA) both officially endorsed it, and I'll find out tomorrow if CAP also endorses it.

I don't really think it'll actually help, but it's quite gratifying to finally have some official backing while yelling at gov't departments about satellites.
