As a firm believer that microsoft got where they are today (in part) by knowing hot to take garbage and market it, I really hope that the management at Globalstar takes a good hard look at Iridium, and listens to everyone who is asking the big question: "Why won't you fail too?"

I really, really hope these people let Maurice run their marketing department. G* needs to use the Microsoft business model - lock the customer in with what seems like a good deal, and hold them forever. The cheaper the minutes are at the launch, and the clearer the marketing message at the launch, the greater number of people will sign on initially. G* needs a lot of charter subscribers to take off.

Catering to the rich few who don't mind high per minute costs is insane, and if G* lets their service providers run with that, they'll never get the volume that brings big mindshare in the market and big profits to the shareholders.
