<. I think that in the event of bankruptcy, G* has a 100% chance that it will reemerge (minus a good chunk of its debt) and prosper.>

Minus 100% of it's equity holders as well don't forget :)

<The Iridium analogy is false because G* has ten times the Iridium capacity and less than 70% the Iridium costs>

Many here are aware of the advantages of G* over the Iridium boondogle... IMO the breakthrough must come in the handsets... when they reach a resonable size, like a normal cell phone we're cooking. I can tell you from experience that wealth of the user alone doens't mean beans: ie. no rich guy is going to schlepp that phone around just because he has the money. Now give him a manservant and you're talking!

<Terrestrial mobile service providers paid more than $70 billion for 3G spectrum in just two countries: Great Britain and Germany. And they will need hundreds of billions to build worldwide 3G infrastructure.>

While this is true, it only speaks of 'relative' value [and ignores the above critical point of handset size] which in the coming era of stock market valuation 'tough love' can easily melt away.
