No.

No, and I doubt anybody seriously has.  As a former employee, I can vouch
that the transponder costs were prohibitive to any start-up.  It's
possible that a large established provider might be able to absorb the
lease, I doubt it.  If it was going to happen, it would've happened when
Cidera was available for pennies on the dollar (my assumption, not a known
fact).

As it stands, the uplink dishes are still sitting unused behind Bergmann's
cleaners in Laurel, MD.  Damn shame.
