Satellite Galaxy 4 Failure news May 20th 1998

[@winwin2100]

$190,000,000.00 write off. May 20, 1998, the day the pager went black. The industry had knowledge of hardware problem a week before. Galaxy IV has later used again for special media like The Education Channel and modern broadcasts, Subscription Cell and XM Radio Radio Services.

Now we have cell phones, cellphones would go on to make pagers obsolete 3 years later.

You’ve got anymore C-Band/Ku-Band Satellite feeds during that time? Virtually few of them can be found.
