Readware comments... BTW, look for a revamped LOR FAQ after the holiday weekend. I have finally completed some major updates off-line.

Globalstar has distributed a "Globalstar Q&A" sheet, which answers some questions about the use of the Zenit launch vehicle. It comes from Globalstar Telecommunications Limited, 600 Third Avenue, New York, NY 10016.

No-- the satcom mobile (note-- "mobile" )telephony systems are fixed in number. There will be no more-- the slots are filled. The Orbital news is about Constellation (located near us in fact), which is ECCO (in conjunction with a firm in the Netherlands). When Boeing decided to join with Ellipso, the next day or so later Orbital announced its affiliation with ECCO.
The Rostelsat system, which is partly LEO, will be providing intranet telephony-- that is not a mobile system. Skybridge will be offering intranet telephony also. |
