Interesting.This means some of Astra 1N frequencies won't be used during the interim mission at 28.2 EAnaloguesat said:Eutelsat have exclusive use over their frequency bands, thanks to a legal agreement from about 25 years ago.
basically both SES & Eutel claimed the 28E slot, and refused to back down. After many court cases the frequency band was divvied up to give both operators access to the slot.
