Joe Brown:

I don't think G*, much less Iridium, is targeting primarily the "3 Billion people without a phone."

Such a statement should be taken just as a reminder that there are tremendous numbers of people and places on the planet grossly underserved by the existing telecomm infrastructure. Of course the vast majority of them cannot afford G* or Iridium service. But 1% of 3 billion represents more than the combined capacity of Iridium and G*. And I do believe that 30M people work in, live in or travel to places where the existing infrastructure, especially for mobile phones, is grossly deficient, and will find that G* (and sometimes Iridium) is both affordable and worth the money.

I don't have a demographic study to prove the above, just my personal experience and judgement based on it

Regards,

RS
