first you say IRID is "THE govt's y2k back up communications system" and now it isn't? Message 10945344
But it won't be the only communications back-up system they have.

you post: Message 10915420
It's too big to fail... and besides, as I mentioned before, the Iridium system is the US govts backup communications system for Y2K contingency planning.

first you say, "it is too big to fail" and yet today IRID is in bankruptcy?

what IS your definition of 'failure?' obviously different than their lenders' appraisal of IRID's business plan's 'success probabilities.'

yeah, could be interesting :)
especially since your sources forgot to inform you that it was filling bankruptcy today.

tell us...did YOU buy the IRID dip "opportunity" yesterday?

and go ahead and tell us all what is their back up to this backup communications contingency plan.

USA Citizens want to know. More tin cans and more string? :)
