I read that article twice, and I do not see any mention as the cost from Space X to put the Sat into orbit. All I see if the cost of the Sat only. Nothing about what it cost to get it into orbit.

Hi All, Just saw this latest effort by SpaceX to launch the Israeli AMOS satellite into GEO orbit. The cost is staggering.
Maybe we should go with somehow securing transponder bandwidth on existing GEO satellites as an alternative ?
