well, If 3s was to be replaced by asiasat7, then why did they move it to 120e, as it was located with 3s only, @ 105e.

Kindly read the first post, 120 deg E is its current location, it will arrive at 105.5 as its final destination, and will replace Asiasat 3S by end of 2014.....

as7 was already @105e, now it has moved to 120e.
May be they'll move it back to 105e in 2014.

The final position will be @105.5 deg E replacing AsiaSat 3S... So we have to wait till 2014... for AsiaSat 7 to be operational ...
