discussing capacity of anyone as a limiting factor LOL! You're absolutely right! But, . . . Best, JS

Further on your response: Orbital slots are for geos, not leos. I used the wrong term. What I was thinking of was "planes". My understanding is that G* must get (and has gotten) permissions to launch a series of satellites that all operate about 875 miles from earth, plus or minus a few miles. But you bring up a good point, and methinks I have been under a misapprehension. Is the constraint the number of sats they can put in a plane, or is it the spectrum they are allocated? I had assumed, apparently mistakenly, that both were constraints. I guess the point doesn't change the thrust of my remark--that irid's demise will free up a "public asset" that G* might use later--when it needs that extra capacity. (Yes, that thought is still funny!) Best, JS
