Don't worry about spin--Loral is the very best at that!

I disagree that a handset shortage is good---sure didn't help Iridium!

John: Sorry. Party on, but realism is required.

One, I take seriously Valueman's contention that the Sept launch requires 36 sat's since the 32 now up not in position fo cover all 8 planes needed for "regional" roll out. Fingers crossed for Aug 14 launch of 4 needed for insurance at a minimum.

Two, Ericsson's GSM/G* handset "plan". Since plan, let alone actual performance is likely to be dismal in execution. Have any of you folks sipping champagne read the Ericsson announcement? Sends shudders up the spine if think about it. If G* has an Achilles heal this is it IMO.

Hope both of these are false worries. Hope to be corrected. Waiting.
