    Mediasatellite's collapse comes just months after the firm secured a major contract from travel distribution giant Gailileo and announced plans to rise €1m through the Business Expansion Scheme (BES).

    Travel distribution giant? The hack from the Indo hasn't heard of the multibillion euro European GPS system?

    Although how a bunch of satellite ISP resellers in Cork ever managed to land the deal with the ESA is a mystery to me.

    Galileo International is the company that maintains a booking system that most travel agents use to reserve flights, hotels and car hire etc. http://galileo.com/galileo/en-ie/?cc=y

    Most useful thing they provide for ordinary individuals is their viewtrip website where you can see your entire travel itinerary in one place.

    It looks like nbb are after getting 300 of Mediasat's 1-way customers back on line!

    Skydsl & SES-Astra activation are not inherently mutually exclusive, but I don't know who is right.

    Anyway, the "1-way" users are just dialup Internet + accellerator. They would not have lost internet. It's the "Two-Way" true Satellite Internet users that have the real problem.

    I probably put that wrong, Mediasat were reselling Astra's broadband, both 1-way and 2-way. Medisat had nothing to to with Teles-skydsl.
