More proof you don't have to do any research/DD to get something published these days. In fact, Iridium's sats are at a lower orbit than G*. One of the reasons why G* phones are so much better is because of CDMA, not altitude. But that sort of logic requires firing brain cells.

I have a friend in Journalism school. She informs me that such a GFE [Gross Factual Error] is grounds for an immediate "F"-grade on any assignment, no matter how well written.
