I can't believe that Iridium price will fall to $1.33/minute. Do the math. 1.5 billion minutes/yr X $1.33=roughly $2 billion. The sats have a 5 year lifespan, and some are going to be a year old in not too short a period. So, give it 4.5 years X $2 billion=$9 billion. That assumes Iridium is instantly filled to capacity(not going to happen). If you shave that number to account for a gradual build in subs, then it becomes $6 or 7 billion--a piss poor return on $4.5 billion investment. Obviously, these are rough numbers, but you get my point. They MUST keep prices high.
