Yes, but many people had the same hope about Iridium. I hope the same, and I am suggesting that dropping a $1.50 per minute extra charge on calls that cross the atlantic to Europe on the PSTN at a cost to Globalstar of probably 5 cents/minute will repel bi-continental customers. I'm saying that if I were Globalstar's Service Provider, I would be looking at the popularity of "one rate USA" type cellular plans and saying to myself "global... global... global... what am I missing here." It would be nice to see globalstar marketing get AHEAD of the curve, which is something Iridium failed spectacularly to do. Yes, calls to Burma probably should cost $1 + more. But I can call from California to England for 7 cents a minute RETAIL. The pricing decision to charge me $1.49 airtime + $1.50 "long distance" for that call is odious. Ralph, I think that should say some international calls. Calling from some places to some places CAN still be expensive. I'm sure (well at least I hope)they will work out the price that guarantees the largest total revenue after some tinkering with the numbers. Regards, Dave
