<doesn't each minute cost GSTRF only $0.14 to provide?> IMO, it will cost G* about 0.8-1B$/year to run the system, allowing about 300M for debt service 300-400M$ for depreciation and 200-300M$ for operations. These numbers are pretty consistent with mgmt claim that the system capacity of 10B call minutes per year has breakeven near or a little below 10 cents per minute. But of course the GW operators and retailers add costs and margins to whatever G* charges, and G* won't be selling 10B min/year no matter the price for much more than a year, IMO, as that sell rate requires a full set of gateways and several million user terminals.
