What's an inclined geostationary orbit? It can't be geostationary if it's inclined to the equator. It's either equatorial or wobbling up and down, albeit up and down a particular longitude, which is I suppose what you mean - it's always lined up with the USA, but the angle of viewing from the USA varies north and south.

With a satellites out of synch, one would be peeking straight down while another comes in from a southerly angle, which is I suppose the intention. Maybe that gives more capacity too and a more reliable signal [the idea of multiple Globalstar satellites being in view at any time].
