"There are plans to use G* for all sorts of things, but it would be a while before it was worked out for OmniTracs."

Maybe the Globalstar data rate isn't quick enough for the Wireless Business Solutions people who might want their customers to have near instant data transfer. It has always been planned to handle data too, but maybe with the huge demand they expect [fingers crossed on that one] there won't be room for data. Maybe that person didn't really know whether Globalstar would handle OmniTRACS. It seems odd that it wouldn't be able to after years of planning.

PS: Thanks Curbstone [we all feel like letting fly at times, and I have deleted posts before I have let them go to air]. JGoren is right that it can get a bit cluttered, but everyone has useful things to say. You'll find me a defender of contrary and unpopular opinion too - I prefer to err on the side of tolerating useless stuff but it is frustrating when 100s of personal, trivial, or uninteresting posts inundate our screens. George Gotch for example has a fair opinion [wrong, but fair - in my opinion anyway]. It's all very tricky, as sometimes the personal and trivial is interesting. Anyway, thanks for your acknowledgement.

Meanwhile, seriously, am I really the only person on the planet who doesn't 'get it' about Wharton Business School. I'll be put on a tick list.
