Lim, I haven't read the Globalstar fine print, but it's a very restrictive offer and essentially a USA service. The press release says: <it has launched a new satellite airtime rate plan which will provide new and existing customers in the United States with unlimited satellite voice minutes for calls to the US, Canada and Caribbean. >

So it's not worldwide or even slightly worldwide.

But it's better than previous options.

I wonder how they'll get on in 3 years if they get a lot of customers and they run out of capacity. Then they'll need the variable pricing for each minute, depending on demand. But given the emptiness of the constellation, that's a nice problem to have.
