Yes, Kirby, this is sweet indeed. The financial side of this dream deal is also admirably planned. The monthly interest cost of the 8.5 bn USD investment is only 106 MUSD, calculated with 15%. And the money they are raking in, 0.2 cents a minute? This masses up tremendous 12 cents an hour. You´d only need 106 million paying subscribers talking no more than 8.3 hours a month, and hey presto, interest charge is already covered. With these figures steep vendor financing should not be a problem at all. I hear Lucent just got 5 bn, I bet they can hardly wait to blow it all to a 2G project in China. OK so that leaves a gap of 3.5 bn. I think they are going to have to wheel in the Globalstar´s operating profit. - rajala
