Anybody know if the IRID and ICO bankruptcy court filings and rulings are public domain, and if so are they on line somewhere? Also, what's ICO's new symbol. I tried ICOGQ and that didn't work TIA

Amidst the doom-and-gloom on this thread and in the market... Witch casts spell on Vodafone Posted 01/09/99 11:06am by Linda Harrison A white witch claims to have put a hex on Vodafone following the company's plans to erect a phone mast in the English countryside. Kevin Carlyon, self-proclaimed King of the White Witches, carried out a pagan ritual to stop Vodafone putting the mast up in East Sussex. Carlyon called upon the services of the spirits of earth, air, fire and water to halt Vodafone's plans to place the mast near the Long Man of Wilmington, a priapically-enhanced chalk carving. All of which is in marked contrast to the CofE, which has added its support to the lucrative mobile phone business by allowing broadcast masts to be erected in church spires. According to news site Electronics Weekly, Vodafone has not been fazed by the curse. "We have applied for planning permission to build a mast," confirmed one Vodafone representative. "They claim to have put a spell on us." Vodafone told The Register that it would take more than a bit of hocus-pocus to frighten it. "No, we're not scared. The fact is that the coverage that will ensure [from the mast] will benefit a lot of people," said a Vodafone representative, no doubt crossing his fingers while trying not to drop his rabbit's foot. © The Register and its contents are copyright ¸ 1999, Situation Publishing.

I* with only 5,000 US subscribers? Posted 01/09/99 6:47pm by Tony Smith Iridium US user figures up 25 per cent Troubled cellphone-by-satellite provider Iridium today trumpeted its North American sales operation's successful attempt to boost its subscriber base. So, Iridium North America now has 25 per cent more subscribers than it did since it cut call and phone prices back in June. It's a shame, though, the company neglected to mention how many users started off with, making it impossible to tell whether this latest increase is in anyway significant. By the end of March, the company had 10,000 subscribers worldwide. The latest hints from the company put that at just over 20,000. Certainly since the company issued the original figure, the US government has bought at least 1000 accounts, so that will have helped pump up Iridium North America's share of the subscriber-base. On that basis alone, Iridium has just 5000 US subscribers now. The figure is probably somewhat higher, but it's still not really enough to inspire confidence. © The Register and its contents are copyright ¸ 1999, Situation Publishing. All rights reserved.
