Arnie, now that CM has invested some dough into ICO, and the suggestion has been made he could integrate it with his cellular empire, it's time to bone up on your orbitology. From what I understand the ICO sats will be able to transmit data to ground terminals at 64 kbs and beam data to mobile ICO phones at 9,600bps. This sounds painstakenly slow! Do you expect these yet to be launched sats to be modified to increase speed? Is it possible to interface the ICO constellation with existing iDEN phones? Can ICO use existing Teledesic spectrum? Would this help increase speed? How will they market the service? Since you don't work, or play golf, can I expect some answers tomorrow? <G> Ron
