I'm surprised by the comment that BSB had to pay for both satellites, I'm sure I saw on one of the IBA Engineering Announcements a piece about the uplink facility which certainly implied it was an IBA operation, remotely supervised from Croydon iirc
You might be right but either way it was BSB money, not IBA paying for it ultimately.
