I live in Oslo Norway. In Norway we have a couple of GSM operators and one analog operator (Telenor) offering the NMT 450 and NMT 900 service. The NMT service has around 400k users but GSM has nearly 2M users. The GSM system covers 85+% of population but only limited landmass (40%?), each tower limited to 30 km radius! The NMT system (very old with bad reception and quality problems)resembles the AMPS system in the USA, is still needed because it covers almost 95% of land and costal areas. Everyone here would love to get rid of the NMT service and get good quality form combined GSM and satellite service. My question to all, how fast do you think people around the world will replace their analog phones (with good coverage but bad quality), with combined GSM/G* or CDMA/G* with excellent quality and almost total coverage? Given the fact 25% of celluar users replace their phones every year, I see from 200M potential customers world wide a damn good market for multi-mode phones with G* on board. I would say, it is better to have G* in the phone than not! If you have it, you will use it. Not 160 minutes per month, 10-50 minutes a month are closer. The major mistake I belive Globalstar did was to include AMPS in the tri-modal phone. The Qualcomm phone should have included CDMA/DAMPS and Globalstar not to speak of GSM 1900! Thomas L
