Well you are a Bill but not this Bill I am sure: QUESTION: -- I was wondering if we're going to have pay roaming charges when we get onto Teledesic? MR. GATES: Okay. Well, Teledesic hasn't launched a single satellite yet. They'll be excited somebody wants to know their pricing structure at this stage. They'll be very low cost for rural users. For people who are in the city, you'll want to connect up with fiber, because the satellite, when it goes over a city, it can't serve everyone in that city area. And Teledesic is not designed for voice communications. It's incredible overkill if all you want to do is voice. There are people who are actually about to go operational, people like Inmarsat, Iridium and PanAmerican with voice satellite systems where you can talk anywhere on the globe. This system is for video, you know, it's basically the Internet in the sky. And, I don't think they'll charge roaming charges. But, then again, they'll have to charge something. microsoft.com Surely Bill Gates had PABN/PRWT in mind when he made that comment. Hahahahahaha. The dead videophone business that they have stopped mentioning all together on their website. PanAmerican InterActive where are you? I think that whole thing died with Merv. Oh and these PanAmerican Games must be being sponsored by PABN? Right. Hahahahaha.
