Yes, they appear to be moving towards the Loral Cyberstar-Skybridge architecture. Still have a different (much higher) frequency, as I recall. The advantage is they have lots of it to themselves. The disadvantage is that it still has lots of rain etc. interference problems, and is on the bleeding edge, technology wise, to implement effectively. As I recall. Cyberstar-Shybridge is on the other hand using more docile and cheaper frequencies. But also more crowded ones. As I recall they have to figure out how to turn off their sats when they pass through the spot beams of GEOs overhead using the same frequencies. Anyone have any further thoughts? Oh, and doesn't it look like our boys will be first to market by a couple of years? Doug
