I know you're one of the resident experts on ORBI. I have a question (please don't laugh). Do you know if ORBI carries insurance against certain loss exposures to their satellites (i.e. meteor showers, Clingons, Godzilla, etc). It would seem to me that there is insurance available for certain loss exposures. It also seems that ORBI would be getting revenue in one area of the company to rebuild these things if there was a loss. My point is that the risk of loss is at least being shared and ORBI would at least break even if they needed to rebuild or repair these satellites. Comments?
