Oh no doubt he was waiting for info to be relayed to him, I just felt the combination of his sigh, his language (we'll address the situation), and the fact that there was such a long silence indicated that he didn't anticipate it taking so long to have confirmation of fairing deploy. In typical launches the confirmation comes a few seconds after deployment, not a couple minutes. And if you anticipate 1-2 minutes of nothing to report, usually you'd plan to be saying something in the meantime to avoid dead air. I could obviously be misinterpreting it, but this was my impression when watching it live, before we even knew there was an issue with the payload. When I watched it I thought they had lost it until he came back and said fairing deploy was successful.
