* Iridium will beat Globalstar to market, probably by more than 6 months, nobody questions that.
* Iridium will have superior coverage, nobody questions that.
* Iridium is spending $1.1B more.
* Iridium's sats will last ~8 years, though they take a conservative position in their 10K. Globalstar's sats will last ~8 years, though they are only saying 7.
* The only example of a call price we have has them pretty similar, yet the G* mutual admiration society discounts the source. (But we're supposed to believe what you say over the NYT? Suuuuuure.
