When talking the "P" word it is all fine and dandy to talk about what the costs are and what the charges will be to make a profit. One factor I have not seen discussed here, Company Prestige. Why is it assumed that a profit needs to be made? Both I* and G* are very big investments, neither company can afford not to keep the system up and running, even at a loss, cause they have lots of other things on their plates which depend on the success of these constellations. (from a credibility/prestige point of view)

As a thought exercise, which outfit do you think would be most likely to keep things up and running at a loss? (My pick I*) Which company (stock) would suffer the most if either had to operate at a loss?
(G*, short term if I* losses money first, long term if G* can't produce)

I am long on G* and dont think they will loose money given the market and the partnering arrangement. I* is a different matter and any bad news from I* is bad for G* until mid 99.
