The cost of one element of the geostationary orbital infrastructure was estimated. This element is a commercial transportation company to serve all other elements of the GEO infrastructure, offering passenger and cargo transportation within the local GEO regime. The estimates result in a figure of 30 billion dollars for the acquisition phase and annual expenses between 3 and 4 billion during the operational phase. Calculations show that it takes 20 yr before a positive cash flow can be expected and up to 40 yr before a (big) profit can be made.
