None of the sat phone companies that use GEOs have gone bankrupt, because GEOs have multiple uses, including television. Further, many of the GEOs, if not most, were put up with government assistance. Intelsat and Inmarsat both were multi-government consortiums to begin with.

The LEO companies have all gone bankrupt because of the incredible expense in putting up dozens of birds before getting a nickle in revenue. It matters to the investors who got shafted that Iridium went through bankruptcy - but the birds don't care, and they are still working for new Iridium, the company that bought them. The DOD contract is with the new Iridium.

>>As best as we can estimate, India's real GDP per capita at constant prices has grown at an average of four
percent per year over the past two decades--a pace at which per capita income doubles every eighteen years. As best as we can estimate, China's real GDP per capita at constant prices has grown at an average of seven percent per year over the past two decades--a pace at which per capita income doubles every decade. Today's inhabitants
of China have about four times the material standard of living of their predecessors of only two decades ago.<<
