I still think the thread is missing the point here. You may argue that Globalstar is cheaper, uses CDMA and bent-pipe architecture, but the point I think is being missed is this: The market for satellite-based telephony is not at all large enough to justify the expense of building a system to provide such service. Globalstar's own IR contact once told me that it would not be wise for Globalstar holders to wish for Iridium to stumble, which I took to mean that it would indicate a lack of market acceptance of such services.

I ask again for anyone here to go beyond the science of the satellite business, and to address the real reason this board exists - to make money. Who are the users, how much time will they spend in satellite mode, and what is the demographic proof of the answers to these questions?
