You can count AsiaSat out as a customer for buying L-Star. Changes in frequencies and antenna would require nearly the same amount of time as a fast-track replacement. They will have to look elsewhere.

<<400 more layoffs? These are not hamburger flippers we are talking about. Laying off 20% of the satellite building workforce sounds like an exit from the business.>> Thomas: Isn't that what Loral's longterm business strategy is? To move away from sat building to servicing and equity positions? L-Star 1, 2 may have just shortened the path. (Just a guess.)
