"so it seems likely that Ciel-2 will be online about a week before that."
How can Ciel II come alive a week after E5 is move to 148? What will they use to broadcast from that location?

I don't believe the United States federal gov't is capable of buying anything for "peanuts". Now, if you told me they bought some peanuts for the cost of a geostationary satellite... *that* I would believe.

There's never been any hard evidence to my knowledge about who bought AMC14, but it has been reported that the DoD bought it for 10 million bucks.
