06/21/99 -- Iridium LLC [IRID] is honing in on one of the proposed key markets of rival Globalstar L.P.
[GSTRF] by selling portable solar-powered satellite phone booths. The booths are being developed by
Motorola Inc. [MOT]. Iridium India Telecom Ltd. has received permission to make and distribute the
solar phone booths in India. Pricing was not disclosed. Iridium told us that similar services are being
developed for the Brazilian market.

Motorola designed the satellite phone booth to make available telecommunications service to remote
villages which have little or no communications infrastructure. That is seen as a key market by
Globalstar, which is developing its own satellite phone booth. Iridium said it is not heavily pursuing the
so-called "village-phone" market. However, Iridium's favored international traveler segment has not
generated anywhere near the number of subscribers the company had hoped for, forcing Iridium to look
elsewhere to find much-needed customers.
