Now i stongly feel that ts wont be use its reserve capacity if they were knowing that gsat10 is failed.
they know that they are getting gsat transponder within few days. So added as maximum channel.
think same in case of u.
if u r running short money, so u will keep ur money in reserve them for future use.
once u know that may be within few hour or few day, u will start using those reserve money also.
