Tero, without being gross, the aerial is rather phallic and sort of machinery-related. Women in general and chicks in particular are NOT into machinery-looking and phallic-reminding devices. They like cute, cuddly and aesthetic. No market research needed! Look at the cars they buy. They are not Ferrari, Porsche and hard-edged brute-force killers. Then again, many like the attractive if powerful SUVs. A bit like they quite like to ride a stallion. Controlled power is fine by them! As you say, check out Charlene and Madeleine for power-trips. Heck, Thatcher, Ghandi, Meir and lots more! It's not just men who like power.
Guys will go for Globalstar. It is a butch brute. It has a size 12, very phallic, aerial. It has the added benefit of looking like a gun! Women won't buy ANY of those things, preferring to die in the desert.
On Australia and Telstra as a W-CDMA/cdma2000 weathervane, yes, that seems reasonable. Australia has got all the stuff there. Telstra is largely GSM so they want an advantage over the newly installed cdmaOne operators. The battle there, where there is a high cellular penetration, with Globalstar to boot, should be fun and gory.
