Exactly! Theyre the same guys paying 2000 for toilet seats. The GSTRF system has 3 advatages
1)Groundbased to keep complex technology on ground where it can be fixed and upgraded(maybee Iridium non land nature is why Pentagon likes it)
2)Its satelites have twice the life span and considerqably more capacity. IE GSTRF is able to have lower cost per minute.
3)Iridium never worked so well, ask anyone who had one. GSTRF works beautifully.
4)GSTRF is more scalable and provides higher DATA rates do to its use of CDMA
5)Iridium phones are much bigger and clumsier.

Cobalt The IRIDidiots are wrong.
