Kyocera: Iridium will make money

Here's an excerpt from an article in Forbes on Kyocera. Read the full article at:
forbes.com:80/forbes/99/0920/6407113a.htm

Nishiguchi, 55, may be a change agent, but he stubbornly clings to the Iridium dream by refusing to alter his
company's forecast of $172 million in Iridium sales in the year to March 2000. "There are 300 million
mobile-phone users in the world," he says. "If we can get 2 million of them to use Iridium, the project will
make money."

One of Iridium's problems is that its handsets are bulky. Kyocera has an answer to that problem: It is
manufacturing its own small Iridium phone, a conventional cellular phone that can be used in cities as is or be
plugged into a bulkier satellite receiver when the user goes off to the jungle.
...
Kyocera also hopes to push its cellular phones overseas, starting with Iridium handsets and moving to regular
cellular phones in 2001. That's when a new unified global standard arrives on the scene, giving Kyocera a
chance to challenge market leaders like Motorola and Nokia.
