For those of our readers who celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday, may we wish you and yours a truly delightful day. Family, friends, food and more will be on most everyone's agenda and we all have so much to be thankful for, despite the rather less-than-energetic economic news assaulting us on a daily basis. Delight in your blessings, and turn each negative message or encounter into a positive experience with a smile and gratitude for what you DO have.

The team at SatNews Publishers will be celebrating the Thanksgiving holiday. There will be no new daily news this coming Thursday and Friday or over the weekend. We shall return with the most complete coverage of the satcom industry on Monday, December 1st. Thanks for your continued support, encouragement, friendship, and expertise — most appreciated!

Hartley Lesser, Editorial Director
