Table 1 Importance of ground stations in the network. First two columns contain the name of the city and the number of premises with High-Speed Broadband (HSBB) access located in that administrative area. The third column displays weights proportional to the number of premises from the second column. The last column contains the final weight of the ground station used in the study
