Thanks for such a comprehensive and in-depth report. Your knowledge and your reasoning are excellent. As you point out, it appears that no one will divulge the assumptions made on the number of calls supported by a beam. That is why I asked if there had been an independent assessment. If I make the assumption that Iridium, whose banks made an independent audit of capacity, has reasonably accurate numbers, no matter how I calculate and add for link margin differences (power) and CDMA and correct for data rates, I can't get to a ten-fold increase. The best I can get to is 5-6 times and that cuts the 12 billion call minutes down to 6 to 7. Now it looks like G* will still be profitable at these levels. I am just trying to determine their predicted growth rate to get to these levels. Because they are dependent on the Gateways, I don't think that the system will support this level of capacity on day one. You seem to have terrific insight. Any ideas or data would be respected. CSM
