Vince,
I need to apologize. A review of old messages shows that you are right; the Board had an Eagle project as far back as 2001 that was put on hold for Echo. The reason I thought otherwise is that the real Eagle project had it genesis at the Orlando design meeting in February 2004.

Vince,
I may have misspoken. There might have been an Eagle IDEA then but there was certainly no PROJECT.

Vince,
Where did you get that idea? There was no Eagle project then. Get your facts straight.

Trevor,
The Intelsat opportunity is just that, an opportunity. It's not a sure
thing
so the Eagle project will be the backup.
Like how the BOD put Eagle on the back burner and instead built Echo so people could pass more Grids?
