Intelsat find satellite again

Looks like Intelsat have found their missing satellite. I read a report in the Post that the satellite, which had lost power, suddenly began signaling Earth, enabling scientists to recover it's position. The post's article does not comment on the name of the sat but my earlier post indicated that the missing sat was Intelsat-7.

After the loss of communication, Starband Communications - a McLean satellite Internet service provider, could not provide a net connection to over 1000 customers. Intelsat rerouted the Playboy and Nebraska lottery TV channels to another satellite during the incident.

No Internet, not to worry, we still have porn!
