Maurice,

<<Iridium is lower LEO than Globalstar.>>

Thanks, I didn't know that. But isn't he right that the satellite technology being used by G* is less expensive and more advanced than Iridium?

<<Neither are the handsets much larger than Globalstar's.>>

Did I mention that the guy is prone to hyperbole?
Globalstar's lightest phone is 350 grams vs. Iridium's lightest at 400 grams.

<<Neither does the handset need a lot more power than Globalstar to 'push a signal that far'.>>

Agreed.
And he may have no idea about ICO. I don't know. Or perhaps he cavalierly doesn't perceive them as a competitive threat a la Iridium.
