No--the other problem! This one involves a battery problem. Makes getting through eclipse season a bit dicey. Due to the failure of the primary setup on Palapa, and then the subsequent failure of the redundant system, it is definitely toast later this month. No battery power to power the sat when dark. The others have problems which SPOT will not elaborate on. I think the last 10-Q mentioned them in passing and the analyst/investor community was outraged at how they slipped that little gem in without even a comment otherwise. We'll see how this round plays out.
