Well, let's try to be clear on this one Tero. I believe Globalstar will be successful, and as such, I have invested in it. I think there is a market of at least the 7 Million subs GSTRF needs to make a lot of dough. I don't think it is relevant to compare handsets that work on a very small percentage of the earth's surface, because the mass markets which exist there are not GSTRF's target market. You can talk about all the landline phones, cell phones, PCS phones, Standby times, internet features, size, weight, sound, .. whatever. These features are irrelevant to the GSTRF target market, because none of these phones work where these people need them to. Only Globalstar Phones will, and whether they end up with CDMA, GSM or even TDMA dual band models is irrelevant to GSTRF. So, just to be clear on where you are coming down here, how about drawing a line? Do you think GSTRF will succeed or not? Are you trying to convince readers here that there is no market for GSTRF phones, or simply that your Nokia phones last longer and look better? Do you understand GSTRF's business model or target market? Where (if anywhere) do you think miss the mark? (Please don't say phone specs without considering the previous question first). C'mon Tero, how about going on record here? PS: I already conceded that the term "Demise" was not mentioned in that post. But readers can decide for themselves (as did I) what your comments implied.

Tero, I was hunting through the old Globalstar posts to find you. Here you are touting the great success of TDMA vs CDMA - it's amusing to read things from years ago to see how far off track we were. There is a problem in Globalstar. Nobody is predicting doom. The original "Die evil scum!" proponent is perhaps somebody who could bring intelligent criticism to bear. It's traditional that there be at least a few evil-doing shorts thumping a company. Globalstar is zooming with quadrupled market capitalisation in a couple of weeks. PCSTEL and Geoff Goodfellow have bought the company and I am out. Alice in Wonderland stuff, I know. Is Globalstar finally going to be a phenomenal success or just amazing? Mqurice
