[CLUE-Tech] Starband dead, dead, dead...

[Christopher J Pomasl]

Starband on IA-7 is back up.
Some tense handwringing at Starband for sure but Intelsat recovered the bird 
on Friday enough to service those who can't repoint easily.  They are still 
investigating the cause and the repurcussions.

Starband had to move customers to different transponders but I think most 
everyone on IA-7 is back up.
