RESEARCH ALERT-J.P.Morgan starts communication cos
(via LOR yahoo thread)

Wednesday February 3, 10:44 am Eastern Time

NEW YORK, Feb 3 (Reuters) - J.P. Morgan said Wednesday it started
Iridium World
Communications Ltd. (Nasdaq:IRIDF - news) with a market perform
rating, Globalstar
Telecommunications Ltd. (Nasdaq:GSTRF - news) with a buy rating, and
ICO Global
Communications (Nasdaq:ICOGF - news) with a long-term buy rating.

-- Iridium expects to add 500,000 to 600,000 subscribers to its network in
1999.

-- J.P. Morgan expects Iridium to remain in its current valuation range if it is
successful in adding 250,000 subscribers to its
network during 1999.

-- with Globalstar and ICO entering the wireless carrier market place in
1999 and 2000, competition will increase and may stifle
Iridium's profits.

-- Target price for Iridium by the end of 1999 is $37 and $47 by year end
2000.

-- J.P. Morgan initiated coverage of ICO with a $19 year end target price.

-- According to J.P. Morgan, ICO's market penetration rate translates at
year end 1999 into a worth of about $4.5 billion or $19
per share based on the discounted cash flow analysis.

-- ICO is the only mobile satellite services company to own its ground
network. This will enable it to maintain end-to-end control
over the majority of its call traffic.

-- J.P. Morgan initiated coverage of Globalstar with a $30 target price, as
the stock has significant room for upside appreciation
given the company's potential revenue and cash flow generation power
shortly after the start of services.

-- J.P. Morgan believes the company's satellite launch in the second half of
February 1999 will renew investors' confidence in the
deployment schedule and drive the stock higher.

-- Globalstar's cost structure pro rated over the lifetime of its network under
similar capacity scenarios is lower than that of its
peer group.

-- Iridium shares were off 1/16 at 33-1/8, Globalstar shares were up 7/16
at 19-7/16 and ICO Global shares were up 1/8 at 14-3/8
