$899 Globalstar
Satellite Phones.

New from ICC!

skyplus.icc.com
"For a limited time, ICC is offering
Qualcomm GSP1600 tri-mode
satellite phones for only $899 when
you activate service on the 100 minute
plan and maintain service for 180
consecutive days. The 100 minute
plan costs $169.99 monthly and
airtime is $1.49 per minute in the
home area. A one time $50 activation
fee applies. Call toll-free at
1-888-222-6616 "

By way of contrast, ICC offers Inmarsat Mini-M terminals for 2395$. A G* phone with a zero or 50 minute plan is 999$.

ICC site also provides an updated "Roadmap."

skyplus.icc.com

Dated May 31, it replaces one of a similar format dated May 15.

It's good to see frequent updates of the roadmap, but I regret to report that there is continued evidence of schedule erosion as well as inconsistancies with the roaming information dated May 30 at

globalstarusa.com

Roaming support by Gateways in Australia and Venezuela said to be available "mid July" (was May 19 and May 31, respectively in the May 15 roadmap, though G*USA says "July.")

Peurto Rico/Caribbean coverage slips from August to September (consistent with G*USA).

S. Africa and South Korea roaming said to be available in July (G*USA says September and August, respectively)
