Abstract
A communication system for exchanging signals among a plurality of terminals is disclosed. Each of the plurality of terminals includes a transmitter that is configured to transmit the signals. A hub is configured to communicate with the plurality of terminals. The hub transmits control signals to one of the plurality of terminals to modify operation of the one terminal. This arrangement has particular applicability to a two-way satellite communication system, which has connectivity to the Internet.
