Valueman - Re: Airtouch Pricing. I am not so worried about the indicated Airtouch pricing for a couple of reasons. Let's remember that G*s biggest markets are the under-served and non-served regions of the world - we haven't yet heard pricing for those markets and who knows, it may be priced at 5 cents a minute where complete subsidization is needed for different reasons or $5 a minute if that's what the market will bear. It doesn't matter to G* - they'll still charge 47 cents a minute. For Airtouch in the U.S., it's a small, premium market (likewise for Vodafone in the U.K. or Europe) for high-end Globalstar shareholders or mountain climbers or for people visiting the King Ranch. Who's going to complain about the handset price and minutes? As for G*, it doesn't really matter - still 47 cents a minute. Maybe I'm wrong but I've got to believe that Airtouch and Vodafone have some idea what they're doing. Now, if they roll out $1000 handsets and $2 a minute in Bangladesh, I'll agree with you.
