Nice to see some informative Big Picture discussion here.
For all its worth; I believe a cooperative effort with an established satellite builder incorporating an auxilliary payload makes more sense than an independant effort with more complexity and cost.
Agreed, more efficient use of resources.
And when Intelsat decides to turn off power to your payload you're right back out in the cold again, unless you enjoy exchanging grids on Echo.
