Goodboy, you keep dusting off Primestar propaganda from 1996. Forget about Mexico. John Malone floated that in 1996 after he backed off on the auction for the 110 slot. The gist of the deal was that Tempo would take their satellite that was then under construction for 110 and give it to the Mexicans in exchange for the use of 75% of the transponders to serve the US market with high power DBS. The FCC denied Primestar, saying that the move would deliberately undermine the congressionally mandated auction process, After all, somebody did end up paying $682 million for that slot! Ain't it funny the way Primestar keeps getting close to that 110 slot, only to have it yanked away from them? It kind of reminds me of Charlie Brown, Lucie, and the football... Still, I have to admire your brand loyalty. Regards, NOEL
