Re: Sky agree new deal with satalite company
The continuation of the service is reliant on the current satellites remaining serviceable. The positioning systems have a finite life, so once the fuel runs out they can no longer stay in the correct location. SES have obviously determined that the current cluster has enough fuel to continue operating into the next decade. They certainly have made no announcements about new satellites, so going to 2039 is probably too optimistic.
