CJ:

First, a disclaimer, I own and prefer Globalstar as a sat phone provider.

Second, (IMO) MOT will gain more over time than I*. Here is why. The feat of being the visionary of the sat phone systems and the technical lead getting a system up and on line is significant. People can say all they want about MOT loosing some luster due to marketing mis-steps. They may even point to I* as an example. The point remains the system integration knowledge gained in this exercise can not be over stated. MOT was planning to do a satellite data constellation (Celestri) but has since made the move to join with Teledesic in their effort. MOT is teaming up with a number of other big concerns and the peg they are hanging their hat on is the system integration abilities they developed during I*. So while I* will out do MOT in the near term. The long term (3-5 yrs) MOT will do better than I*. MOT has been beaten down for some time and pending a few good market moves, MOT could see a large up side on the near term as well.

Long term is my view point. I dont have the stomach or ability to try to manage a short term portfolio.

Hope this helps in some small way.
