“[I]t is obvious that an overcapacity situation already exists in the launch services market. When I hear certain operators say the contrary, what they really want is additional cheap launch services on the market – but this is something they won’t admit out loud. … The system of commercial launch service providers is working very well, offering capacity to cover all of the market needs for prices that are globally affordable – so if the telecommunications operators want to destabilise this system, I think they will face the consequences from the resulting damage.” — Arianespace Chairman and CEO Jean-Yves Le Gall
