Power generation
IIRC, the tether itself, jutting out through the magnetosphere, could generate enough power on its own just being there.

I may be wrong, though. I think they did some experiments with that on the shuttle, dropping a tether towards the earth to generate power as it moved through the earth's magnetic field, but I'm not sure if it's supposed to work in geosync.
