one of the problems is that true near-realtime satellite imagery (90 degree angle direct overhead, visual spectrum or IR spectrum to detect tree cover) is quite costly, in terms of $$$ per square km, if you want images that were acquired recently. The older the data is, the cheaper it gets. This could be a huge recurring cost to buy new satellite imagery.
If you want almost-true-realtime satellite imagery for land-use law enforcement purposes, you're looking at a project that required the financial resources of a nation-stage IMINT apparatus (US NRO) for example, with dozens of polar-orbit, LEO satellites. The best you're going to get from commercial sources is a couple of days old, up to a few weeks old.
