Requested move

Seeing as Telesat Canada and Loral Skynet have been merged into Telesat (see telesat.com) I believe it would be appropriate to merge these pages, with information about the new combined fleet. It can be discussed whether the previous pages should contionue to exist or become redirects; IMHO they should be rewritten as "history of".HalifaxRage (talk) 00:29, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

• Oppose create a new article for the new entity. 70.51.9.238 (talk) 07:29, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
• Support merge the two entities into one article with sections of history for both of the old entities. -Djsasso (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 23:16, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Clean-up

Telesat no longer has a fiber optic network, Telesat abandoned Loral Skynets' fiber network after the merger. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.111.115.132 (talk) 06:54, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

TeleSAT

Noticed that "TeleSAT" was on the Most Wanted Articles page (with 73 links) - is it any different than this page? Dberard (talk) 02:09, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

more/clearer history please

"On October 5, 2007 Loral Space & Communications Inc. and the Public Pension Investment Board of Canada received the final regulatory approval necessary to complete the acquisition of Telesat from BCE Inc. for CAD $3.25 billion."

As this is the first information about an acquisition that appears on the page, it seems to indicate that BCE started Telesat. If that is the case, it should be explicitly stated, along with BCE's reasons for creating Telesat. If this is not the case (and from what I know, this is indeed not the case) when did BCE acquire Telesat and for how much?

Is it correct to still refer to Telesat as a Canadian company when the controlling interest is held by an American Lockheed spinoff?
