I absolutely agree with you that data communication is it. We should not even consider voice only systems. That is why after knowing more about Iridium, the more I am disappointed, granted this system was the grand-daddy of all, of its kind. To be more specific, I do not like the following two things about this project: - The system was designed for voice communication. That means low capacity data transmission. With exponential growth in amount of data that is required to be transmitted every second, this system is already obsolete as we speak. - The capacity or customer base is somewhat shallow. Only a handful of the elite can get accounts with this system. However, I do like the LEO (low earth orbit) approach. I would bet on LEO rather than MEO (above Van Allen Belt) any day. Time Traveler
