"Even though the Celestri-Teledesic combination
eliminates one competitor, this may leave the
Cyberstar-Skybridge system in a precarious position.
As a pure LEO system, Teledesic promised to be
a megaflop, but with a GEO component and a deep
reduction in the number of LEO satellites, the
overall system will become quite attractive, IMHO"

Bernard:

I agree completely, except for the precarious position part. They will be in the catbird's seat--C* begins service this fall. Dedicated Ka-band transponders on Telstar in phase 3. Their own super high power LS-2020 sats in 2003, joining Skybridge's 64 LEOs launched in 2001. Bring on the competition. By the way, each C* sat will have 64 spot beams with 85Mbps capacity, or 5,440 Mbps. As a comparison, Telstar 5 has a total capacity of 864 Mbps. Who said something about low capacity?
