Wait til them satellites get totally fried in a BIG solar storm.. and
are useless for years until replaed at great expense

The Ionosphere, meanwhile, will absorb the shock like a rock in a pond,
settling down in a few days


The sats are not even insured at least
in Sirius's case. They state that in their S.E.C files. Perhaps they can't
get them insured or the rate is just too high?

Lucky
