CB, 15 billion minutes x 50c per minute = $7 billion per year revenue. The capital cost of Globalstar was $5 billion [including all the gateways]. Operating costs are low compared with those figures.

You can't understand that they would make money at that price?

I don't think you want to understand so, I'm not going to bother explaining the rest to you.

How big is the market for high quality [there is a qualitative difference between Globalstar and all others], convenient, zero latency satphone service at 20c or 50c a minute? It hasn't been tested so you don't know.

You made a superficial analysis and missed the key point [that they didn't change their strategy].

Suit yourself,
