Perhaps the best known satellite transmission set-up is the Intelsat, run by the privately-owned Communications Satellite Corporation (COMSAT) of 91 individual nations.

Inaugurated in 1965, it provides over 60 countries with everything from TV and phone calls to computer data and weather reports. With 4,000 simultaneous circuits in each of its 7 orbiting satellites, voice and data transmission, as well as television link-up, are possible around the world.

And their dead bodies (the two witnesses) will lie in the street of the great city which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified. Then those from the peoples, tribes, tongues, and nations will see their dead bodies three-and-a-half days, and not allow their dead bodies to be put into graves. And those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them, make merry, and send gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth. – Revelation 11:8-10
