Additionally, Bill Woodcock () at PCH has had some 
experience with VoIP (SIP/RTP) over satellite, and has mentioned that 
he'd be happy to share his experiences with anyone who wants to ask 
about implementation and performance.  His non-profit organization 
(among other things) helps developing nations create Internet 
exchanges in-country, so he's often using his SIP phone in places 
where the only connectivity comes in via geostationary satellite.
