1. A communication system comprising:
- a communication infrastructure;
a gateway station communicating a communication signal to said communication infrastructure;
an airplane having an antenna coupled to a processing circuit for establishing a plurality of multiple dynamic links corresponding to said communication infrastructure;
said gateway station generating multiple datagrams from said television signal and transmitting the multiple datagrams through said multiple dynamic links; and
said antenna receiving the datagrams from said infrastructure and said processing circuit reassembling the datagrams into the communication signal.

Abstract
A communication system has a communication infrastructure and a gateway station communicating a communication signal to the communication infrastructure. An airplane having an antenna coupled to a processing circuit for establishing a plurality of multiple communication links corresponding to the communication infrastructure is used. The gateway station generates multiple datagrams from the television signal and transmits the multiple datagrams through the multiple dynamic links. The antenna receives the datagrams from the infrastructure and the processing circuit and reassembles the datagrams into the communication signal.
