Sounds like Wildblue is a victim of its own success. As was predicted
here many, many moons ago, by Don, myself and others....

Satellite offers wonder promise, at the beginning, then slowly bogs down
as subscribers get added fast in order to make the service profitable.

Eventually the lack of space-based infrastructure catches up and the service
bogs down. This becomes a *real* impediment for Ka-band based services
such as Wildblue. There just aren't enough Ka-band transponders up there
to lease from, unlike Ku or even C band.

And with the recent SeaLaunch explosion, things are only going to get worse
before they get better.
