My understanding is NWT has been working towards their satellite for some years - hopefully this means they are down the queue that Sheriden is talking about. Also - they already have military and mining contracts so already have 'sensitive' clients who may not want foreign hands at the controls.

Keating is with Lazard, Green is ex Govt commission chair. And the Govt has 40b NBN to award somewhere...

All of these 'co-incidences' may add up to absolutely nothing of course. Or the sum of the co-incidences may be worth more than their parts.

Either way - lets hope we shoot for the Starrs! (Sorry - couldn't help myself)
