David:

Loral is laying off 280 to 300 people at SS/L(the sat manufacturing arm) because asian customers not making payments. Investor relations said that they hope to resell the sats becuase they are nearly finished. The only asian customer with sats nearly finished is L-Star. This is not confirmed, but you should see a press release tomorrow possibly backing this up.
Also, this is the reply I received from my e-mail to the editor of the Bangkok Post asking about the status of L-Star:

"I doubt whether UCOM is doing anything about Laostar project right
now due to liquidity crisis affecting all telecom companies including
UCOm. Furthermore, the sky is crowded with several satellites right now
including Thaicom, Abstar, Asiasat, Mesat and Indosat. In fact, Thaicom
has yet to fill up renters for its Thaicom 3, which have 24 C band
transponders and 16 KU band. The same is Mesat from Malaysia, still
looking for customers. So what do you think Laostar will have any
future? Forget it."

For what it's worth.
