Don't most companies great a clone Satellite just for this reason? It doesn't cost much more to make a second one. |

Is it the company who bought the sat, the company who launched (and destroyed) the sat, or are private launches like this insured? |

| not good.
Boeing will find what happened.
Aleast its not as bad as when galaxy 4 went silent in 1998. Or when in 1999 when galaxy 10 was lost on take off.
I give boeing credit on this. Aleast it was out in the ocean and not at the cape or andrews air base where poeple could have been hurt or killed from it. |

Satellite broadband capacity has never been that great to begin with. I can understand using this capacity for the middle east and Africa. However Europe should know better. |

Some eastern parts of Europe are like africa and middle east in the way of being war torn and still re-building.. So those countries would benefit from sat inet. (since there is no alternative)

God has deemed that satellite broadband is shit, that's why this POS didn't make it off the pad. |

Me thinks our government wouldn't want those countries to have any more internet access than they really need. Or maybe none at all...
Just a conspiracy thought.  |

If Christopher Lloyd is to be believed, at least this launch failure doesn't affect DTV's eventual* HD expansion.
I mean eventual with the least amount of sarcasm possible.
