The US State Department is already a large customer for dedicated
transponder capacity, in C-band hemispheric and Ku beams in some weird
places in the world.

As a randomly chosen example if you take a look at the roof of the UK
embassy in Kabul, there's a nice 4 meter size Andrew/Commscope compact
cassegrain dish up there. Pretty typical thing already for embassies, the
big difference would be that that they'll have more market options for
high-throughput service.
