The next twelve months will prove to be the most hostile enviornment in space since the first satellite was launched in the 60's. You have the culmination of the solar cycle maximum (causes damaging solar storms), shifting space debris (can knock out a satellite), and the leonids meteor shower (will sandblast every bird in space). Insurance rates will skyrocket next year and many failures in space will call into question the reliability of satellite communications. Iridium, Globalstar, GMH, Panamsat and others are and have been short. I think Direct TV has a 50/50 chance of losing a bird before year end. That would be great for Primestar and with the DOJ approval, we will be over 10, then sell.

Loral could benefit from replacement orders and they are not as vulnerable as GMH. Panamsat and DTV make GMH a short.
