The AMSAT India newsletter has some great news: their proposal for Hamsat II requests that ISRO provide an elliptical or MEO orbit! Moreover, they're also asking for space on a geosynchronous bird. I suppose the latter would not necessarily benefit those of us in North America, but it would provide a fine emergency service to Asian regions and provide a pioneering example for other AMSAT groups.
