I think I agree with therosebowl on this one, but just to make a contrast I also had this idea. Maybe satelite is being used in the place of God. What really pushes me towards this idea is the end "I know you're up there somewhere." Sounds like he's having faith. "Eliminating the spread" could be the spread of Christianity. I think maybe he's drawing parallels between the two concepts. Perhaps he's saying that government is the new God. That the government is trying to play God.
