True.......but beyond the massive restructuring that the company needs to do, I'm just not a huge believer in the technology. The internet is providing a conduit for the facilitation of communication in such a way that eventually it will squeeze companies like IRID. The cost for their services is just relatively too high, IMO. When companies like GMGC are offering such things as free voicemail over the internet, I just can't help but think that the revolution of all communication will stem from growth and expansion of the internet. I really can't get excited about a bunch of financed satellites with a short term shelf life expediting the way we will communicate in the future.
