Criticism has been leveled at the project however because the group aim to charge people to send their own messages using the system.

Dr. Jacob Haqq-Misra and a group of entrepreneurs are planning to use the Jamesburg Earth Station radio dish in Carmel to send out a continuous message to any extraterrestrials that might be listening.

There is also concern over whether it is wise to be sending out messages aimed solely at attracting attention to the Earth given that there is no guarantee that any given extraterrestrial civilization would be friendly.
