Good point that I'd forgotten, VMan, re: satellite replenishment. If the failure rate is even half what you said, and given the constellation's relative inability to work with "gaps," Irid's maintenance costs will be substantially higher than G*s.

There ought to be a way to use the Irid birds in "bent pipe" mode for something, however...Loral or Orbi ought to be thinking about it...I hate the thought of all that space h/w going completely to waste.
