Pooky, what is a business Traveler? Is it the guy in Pittsburgh who is selling shoes wholesale or is it the rancher in South Africa? Is it the person who will spend who knows how much to have "OnStar" in his Cadillac SUV or is it a Brazilian who does not want to wait a year for a fixed line? It might be all of them. The SP's will be the ones to search out the people who could use the service. The service is in no way limited to "business travelers". It is for people who want to make a phone call and get information where they currently can not. To me, that is a very big market. Jeff Vayda

Is there a long-distance charge with Globalstar? Is the price only $1.47 a minute (or $3.00 with roaming) anywhere in the world to anywhere in the world? If that is the case think of this. It costs about $2.50 a minute to make a call from India to US. (It only costs $1.18 from US to India from my calling card). So Globalstar is not that expensive. And I think US-China rates are comparable. Also, look at Sprint PCS coverage in New Jersey. There are so many holes in the coverage that one has to rely on analog which costs $0.63 for long distance call within US.
