Today we can already offer customers the clearest satellite voice calls and the fastest handset data speeds in the industry and our dealers have started to report strong increases in interest in our duplex services thanks to the improved performance. Placing these satellites into service is anticipated to further improve the call connection rate in our major markets to a level of performance many of our voice and duplex data customers demand."
