I promise you that that is not the case for all applications. Geosynchronous satellites can be anywhere. For the applications you are considering (communications mostly), equatorial orbit is the most advantageous.

Geosynchronous are only over a particular longitude. They move up and down in latitude, so it isn't over a given point except twice per day (or only once at the extremes). -- Chris Adams <cmadams@hiwaay.net> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
