The Israeli satellite "Satlink" that radio Biafra was using for hosting internet radio has crashed.
The Satellite disappeared in the orbit few months
after Satlink was bought over by the Nigeria government to stop
carrying content for Radio Biafra on Amos 5 satellite, the satellite crashed.
So the business is over for Satlink with respect to this satellite.
Those who align themselves with, or allow themselves to be used by, haters of
Biafra will suffer loses. Biafra is not a mere agitation. God has given approval
for it.
Even all those governors policemen and saboteurs fighting Biafra you are all doomed
Aka Chukwu di na ya!
Israeli satellite Amos 5 goes incommunicado Communications satellite's owner, Spacecom, has no explanation for loss of contact, expects that even a total loss will have only a minor effect on finances • Amos 5 was launched in 2011 and generates $40 million in Internet and TV orders annually. Ilan Gattegno The Amos 5 satellite | Photo credit: Reuters Customers whose communication services are provided by Israel's Amos 5 satellite found themselves at loose ends on Saturday when contact with the satellite was lost at 6:45 a.m. In a report to investors and the Israel Stock Exchange, Spacecom, which owns the Amos 5, said it had no explanation for what specifically had caused it to lose contact with the satellite. A mechanical failure, a short circuit, or being struck by a meteor or space junk are all possibilities. Amos 5, which was launched in 2011, includes 68 segments and covers the Middle East, Europe, and Africa. According to Spacecom records, Amos 5 has generated a total of $140 million in service orders. The satellite generates some $40 million in revenue annually and its worth is assessed at between $190 and $160 million. Amos 5 is insured by an international syndicate for $158 million. In the letter to investors, Spacecom stated that initial calculations indicated that a total failure of the satellite would have only a marginal effect on the company's capital. Eurocom Group, which holds the rights to the satellite's position at 17 degrees east will now have to locate a replacement satellite. A new satellite can be built and launched, or another satellite already in space and available for purchase can be acquired and moved into position to continue providing Internet and television services to the African market. Only last week, reports were published that Spacecom had been contracted to provide television and Internet services to Cameroon. The news that contact with Amos 5 has been lost comes as Eurocom, which owns 64.5% of Spacecom, is in the process of selling the company, whose market value recently stood at 1.1 billion shekels ($280 million).http://www.israelhayom.com/site/newsletter_article.php?id=29849
