message: Is it known whether the on-orbit spare will be used to provide sellable spare capacity in the likely event that all three satellites end up working?  It would make lots of sense from Paradigm's point of view ...  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fivemack (talk • contribs) 00:18, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

message: Does anyone know if this influenced its fictional milatary namesake in the Terminator series of films?Schnizzle 13:23, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Never mind. It looks like they came up with the name in the '60's, long before Terminator. --Selfish Gene 2009 (talk) 02:58, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

message: The following text used to be in Skynet (fictional); it didn't belong there.
Someone should try to integrate it into this article, if appropriate.
:These Skynet relay satellites provide secure communication services for the British armed forces, with a current focus on increasing bandwidth to control modern technologies such as unmanned air vehicles. 
:Its technologies have been designed to resist any attempts to disable or take control of the spacecraft.
:Skynet is funded through a private firm Paradigm Secure Communications, the Ministry of Defence does not own the hardware.

thread_title: Moved from [[Skynet (fictional)]]

message: Stop and back up. SKYNET has bad connotations. It's also a real-life military defense network that controls things that kill people. Did anyone think that through at the MOD?
Britain's SKYNET was in orbit well before James Cameron's SKYNET was conceived Fivemack 00:17, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Um, trouble brewing?

message: Where did the information on Skynet 1 originate from? I ask because my father designed it, and assured me that at least one of them didn't conk out after a year. He even went on Blue Peter to do a presentation of it! There was also a model of it on display in the Science Museum. Whether it is still there I don't know.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Puzbie (talk • contribs) 21:05, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

message: Why is there no Skynet 5B page, whereas there are pages for Skynet 5A, Skynet 5C and Skynet 5D ? 62.254.68.36 (talk)  —Preceding undated comment added 20:03, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: How about merging the lot? AFAIK they're all technically much the same (yet another E3000) and with much the same functions. A merged article can present brief history in a section, then a table to allow direct comparisons. Andy Dingley (talk) 20:06, 27 January 2013 (UTC)

text: I'll create it now. Given that current practise is to consider all spacecraft notable if there is enough material available to produce a reliably-sourced article, all four spacecraft should have articles and I would very strongly oppose Andy's proposal. --W. D. Graham 23:46, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text:  Notability is the opportunity to have a standalone article. Readability could well override this, if it's more readable as a single article. Andy Dingley (talk) 23:55, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: There's nothing to stop us having a list as a summary, linking to detailed articles. This is what we do with just about every other spacecraft, so I can't see why this wouldn't work here. --W. D. Graham 00:45, 28 January 2013 (UTC)
