[QUOTE="timo_w2s, post: 929299, member: 196043"] I really don't buy that ex-pat theory. SES want some wide beams so they can use their birds at other slots for complete backup of their fleet. If anything they've compromised and centred the 2F and 2E Europe beams more at the UK for UK & Ireland's benefit with the possibility of using these beams for Europe wide if needed in an emergency or after the satellites have finished their service at 28E. If 2F/2E/2G only had spot beams they'd be next to useless if needed at 19E for example. I think the fact that the 2G Europe beam isn't even centred on the UK says a lot. [/QUOTE]
