Valueman,

I agree. We should expect a positive press release any day.
If not, well, my truck might end up getting backed up over a cliff.....

Any way, on a peripheral issue, I did "the math" for the satellite
coverage. It wasn't as easy as I would have initially thought.
Here's the result:

Latitude
(North or South) P_1sat P_2sat P_3sat P_4sat
0 deg 100 % 80 % 20 % < 2 %
10 deg 100 % 95 % 20 % < 2 %
20 deg 100 % 100 % 40 % 5 %
30 deg 100 % 100 % 80 % 30 %
40 deg 100 % 100 % 85 % 35 %
50 deg 100 % 100 % 75 % 15 %
60 deg 100 % 80 % 45 % < 2 %
70 deg ~99 % 35 % < 2 % 0 %
80 deg < 2 % 0 % 0 % 0 %

I've rounded everything off to the nearest 5%. To read this,
you would read the latitude of your location. For example,
lets say you are 10 deg North (or South of the equator).
You have a 100% chance that there would be 1 satellite over
your head at any time (because P_1sat is 100%), and a 95% chance
that there would be two satellites over, a 20% chance of 3
satellites, and so forth.
