rf_hombre: <I do not think it was a complete coincidence that Vodafone announced a pan European Monetary Union one rate plan of $0.75 on Jan 16. And it happens now just when the last rites are being administered to Globalstar? Interesting. > Just like it was not a coincidence that the GSM mafia (it's been a while since we've heard that term), decided to embark on wide ranging / cost competitive roaming agreements between international Service Providers with multi-band phones just a few months before Iridium service became available.. Although Maurice and myself disagree on this one! The mass market for MSS voice services has been "destroyed" by the likes of the the GSM Mafia.. (I think Tero is the KingPin!.. not really!) Actually, from a business standpoint.. The GSM operators have it right.. They employ the "Wacky Wireless" methodology.. The keep the prices low enough to load their systems to capacity.. And then raise prices and margins to keep the "low cost users" from "overutilization" of the spectrum.. That's why it cost more in the daytime (high use) than the nights / evening time!! (I wouldn't doubt if they employ some tricky software that "disconnects" the local "low cost user" from the network if capacity is needed by a "high dollar paying roamer from Brasil, only makes sense to me") Systems running "at capacity" is good for the Service Provider" Especially when all the Service Providers operate with the same technology and competitive "disadvantage" of lower Spectral Efficiencies to keep the "Supply/Demand curves in line".. However, here in the US where gains in Spectral Efficiencies are increasing the amount of (UPM Users per Megahertz) by factors of 100% ever several years or so.. The spectrum is "freeflowing" And the North American operators are engaged in an all out "bloodbath" in competitive pricing (lower margins) and services!! PCSTEL
