Good post RS. I too feel the early handset issue is not the way to judge success. IR told me that the 2002 bus plan for Lor/G has not changed on bit in their opinion. Just for fun, imagine a scenario where Ir did a soft rollout last November instead of saying "Here world, come and buy are shakey system. We are not sure it works very well and don't even have licenses in several areas but what the heck, we built it and you will buy it. Where? We are kinda keeping that a secret but we will let you know." Maybe a soft rollout with strategically placed handsets with sophisticated users who expected initial quality defects in areas fully licensed with trained sp's just might have resulted in some happy campers who start telling their friends and neighbors that this will work and we are getting happier by the day. Would that have resulted in 5,000 initial subs and 5,000 per month thereafter as soon as the sp's & Kyocera got their act together? Would they have ever made a ton of money? I never thought so but that may very well have kept them out of bk. Remember, Ir had to have 66 birds up before they could go live. They couldn't do a soft rollout until then but they still could have been more selective to avoid the disaster that befell them. G* can do a soft rollout that builds steam as the bugs are worked out and the sp/ptrs fully understand the system. Just a thought.
