Why do satallites have to stay in the equotorial plane?

Staying at the "same point" (i.e., above the same location on Earth) is onlyimportant for a Geosynchronous satellite, which must occupy a very high orbit.Most satellites (and the International Space Station) are in lower orbits, whichmeans they orbit the Earth faster than it rotates, so they don't stay in thesame place.===================================Answer #1:Now to deal with the question . . .If the satellite is going to be used by non-technical people with little 'dishes'on the corner of their house or garage, it's important that they not need tomove their dish to follow the satellite across the sky. If people couldn't "setit and forget it", there would be no Dish network or Direct TV or any of theothers, because very few customers would be willing to do what it takes tokeep their dish tracking the satellite. Sure it could be automated, with amotorized mechanism that constantly steers the dish to follow the satellite.But that would cost 20 times what those dinky dishes cost now, and again,the operators would not "have a business". The only way that this wholescheme of satellite-direct-to-the-home can work is to make the satellitemotionless in the sky. The installer comes to your house, mounts the dish,'finds' the satellite, points the dish in that direction, and locks it permanentlyin that position. That's the only way the business model can work.
