January 16, 2017: Just as I predicted would eventually happen (back on December 16, 2014), the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) has ended their search for the MH370 plane crash wreckage in their search area without ever finding MH370 in it: Underwater search of 120,000 square-kilometre area in the southern Indian Ocean completed. Wreckage of Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 not found there. Malaysia, China and Australia announce decision to suspend the underwater search. "Paul Kennedy, the project director of Fugro – the Dutch company leading the search – acknowledged on Thursday [July 21, 2016] that, if the plane was not found there, "it means it's somewhere else"."

Why did Inmarsat withhold MH370's initial Log-on Messages?

The first message in the Inmarsat MH370 Data Communications Logs file is at 16:00:13.406 UTC and is a 0x15 - Log-on/Log-off Acknowledge message from MH370 to the Ground Earth Station (GES).

Where is the initial 0x10 - Log-on Request (ISU)/Log-on Flight Information (SSU) message from MH370 to the GES, and all subsequent messages that occurred prior to that 0x15 - Log-on/Log-off Acknowledge message?

As can be seen at 18:25:27.421 UTC and 00:19:29.416 UTC, MH370, which is an Aircraft Earth Station (AES), initiates a Log-on to the GES with a 0x10 - Log-on message, which is responded to with a 0x11 - Log-on Confirm message from the GES to the AES, followed by an exchange of messages between them, prior to the 0x15 - Acknowledge message.

Why did Inmarsat withhold MH370's initial Log-on Messages?

And why isn't any news organization asking that question?
