I hesitate to make any pronouncements about Ericsson's having any grand scheme to damage Globalstar in order to promote ACeS. Frankly, I do not think they could manage that kind of strategic thinking. (Witness how long it took them to cave on CDMA and how halfhearted their current efforts are in that area!)

It does make me wonder, however, what the terms are of Ericsson's agreement with Globalstar to produce phones. I would think they would have to produce at least some minimum number of phones within some specified time frame in order to keep Bernie from calling up Nokia or Motorola and asking them to fill the GSM gap.

Maybe Bernie's done that already?

And maybe Irwin Jacobs has a Qualcomm GSM/CDMA Globalstar phone sitting on his desk waiting to be introduced at the right moment?
