Those who oppose the idea say that Taiwan, with its small area, has a low frequency of satellite utilization, and since its needs for channels can be adequately handled by international satellite organizations, why should it spend so much money on developing a satellite of its own?
不少反對發展衛星的專家認為，從應用的觀點來看，台灣面積小、人口密，使用衛星頻率不高，以目前向國際衛星組織租用衛星線路即可應付，何必花那麼多錢自行發展？
