2HRS2GO: Drop an Iridium on someone August 25, 2000 2:15 PM Help Motorola (NYSE: MOT) determine the fate of Iridium's constellation. Two days ago a bankruptcy court hearing for Iridium was canceled for lack of buyers. Now Motorola finally is scheduling the end -- or "decommissioning" -- for Iridium's system of 66 satellites. Last night the company lost the ability to handle calls to or from non-Iridium phones in the Americas. There's little point in rehashing Iridium's history, especially on a Friday. No one wants to read a depressing story going into the weekend. Instead, let's find at least one useful service for Iridium. Give Iridium's backers at least some feeling that their billions weren't entirely wasted. Motorola has concluded the only thing left to do is release the satellites from their orbit, but the company has yet to settle on a schedule. Here's how you can help: Find a target. I know, I know -- the satellites are supposed to burn up in the atmosphere or simply stay in orbit.
