Re: G* data I don't think that's correct. First, the 9.6kbs rate is not available now. According to most recent conference call, data service is expected to debut in the 4th quarter. Second, in response to questions about 19.2, BS indicated that it would be doable but was "at least a year away". His whole tone in response to the question suggested that data is a very low priority for G* and again this makes perfect sense given the economics. Nobody at G* is talking about anything higher than 19.2 so it is difficult to see what HDR speculation is based on. Also, "data" and "net" are not synomymous. To have an Internet connection you need an ISP. I am aware of no ISP that supports connection speeds as low as 9.6 kbs these days. Again, this suggests that G*'s data capabilities are not designed for the Internet but rather for remote sensing and similar low-bandwidth use.
