I was for some reason completely unaware of this possibility. How much would comissioning such a clip cost, and whats the delay? I looked through the website but couldn't seem to find concrete info. I am surprised that the media isn't using this, like they have taken to using satellite imagery on news shows now. They could show moving imagery of troop movements on the Crimea right now? That seems like it would have a huge impact...
Everyone I know who's worked on microsatellite imaging has talked about the financial district. The thinking goes: watch the Panama or Suez Canal and you're the first one to know when an oil tanker gets delayed, etc..
You can do that right now on a Bloomberg terminal -- definitely don't need satellite imagery. Ships have transponders that tell you where they are. There are definite financial sector use cases, though.
