In an opinion piece in Monday's New York Times a writer projects that there will be a glut of network availability due to overbuilding FO networks and that telecom companies will be hurting as a result of prices being driven down. "In other words, a dial tone -- or, to be specific, the availability of too many such tones -- could be the sound that ends the investment boom in communications technology." nytimes.com

Dropped Calls with 32 satellites Raymond, we are all sure to agree that anything less that 95% completion if handsets are used properly is NOT going to make for happy customers. 99% would be better. 87% [or whatever it is] is just for a while until the full constellation is launched, which will be about January. Many people would rather have some service than no service, even if the lack of satellites will result in lack of service for a few minutes until a satellite appears and dropped calls when a satellite disappears over the horizon while the call is in progress. Provided they know that the service will be fine when the satellites are all up. True, until the system is up and proven, there is no mass market. But shareholders have to figure it out beforehand. Those who wait until it's proven will miss the big runup. It's sort of 'shareholder chicken' - wait as long as possible and see if it looks as though it's a winner. Globalstar is far from an early adopters game or science experiment. That's how I see it today anyway. I should offer a double your money back guarantee. Maurice PS: Techniclone is a buy! I don't own any of the stock - full up with Q! and G*. Double your money back guarantee on that one. Okay, have to leave this keyboard..."Whew!" say they.
