Neopoint is owned by, I think, LG [but maybe it was one of the other Korean companies] which already has a license agreement. Neopoint is run by exQ! people. There was recent news about it [probably on their Web site].

Bux, re <GSTRF is only as secure as the gateways. Once the signal is decoded I think an old-fashioned wire-tap would suffice. > The signals come from space in CDMA mode and through the gizzards in the gateway straight down a fibre pipe. I don't think anyone is going to intercept those calls unless they do a wiretap on the recipient's twisted pair. Since people making the call might be the target of the wiretap, it won't be possible to tap them.

If they made a call from their twisted pair phone at home, it would be easy to tap, but you can forget it for a person with a Globalstar phone. Other than the FBI and National Security Agency trying to require the calls to be sent via their systems in parallel to the Globalstar system.

PS: It's Vodafone, not Vodaphone. Jon I think it's a bit like nite instead of night and color instead of colour. Just a more groovy way of writing it. But I bet it causes them problems.
