I've heard the minimum number of sats to start service is 32. That makes 1 July the earliest possible rollout (sats 28 - 32 scheduled up then) I'm hoping some form of limited service can begin soon after if only to demonstrate demand. I realize that 'service is scheduled to start in Sept', but what are the reasons they can't do something more limited before then? It seems appropriate to demonstrate the viability of their system vs IRID as soon as possible if for no other reason than to shore up financing needs as soon as possible.

Regards, Dave
