Report: New Satellite Ventures Will Succeed By Extending the Internet's Reach Iridium's Main Problem: Its Telephone Company Business Model CHESTERFIELD, Mo., Oct. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Satellites will extend the Internet to every point on the Earth's surface -- but only after operators end their obsession with telephony services.
