Satellite ISPs connect users to the Internet by means of satellite communication. This paper discusses how to misuse satellite ISPs to allow any subscribed user to broadcast arbitrary content to a group of anonymous receivers. Exploiting the fact that the satellite downstream signal, containing the data requested by a user, is not only sent to this specific user only, but can be received in the whole footprint of the satellite the paper shows how to broadcast certain data for an unlimited number of potential receivers. The paper concludes with open issues and future strands of work, such as sender anonymity.
