Wow. I have sort of wondered if some version of your McCaw scenario might not be a possibility. I can't see them doing anything with Iridium and Teledisic seems to be real pie in the sky at 9 billion and climbing. Hey, and I thought Bernie was dumping the DNC in favor of Jesse Ventura.

I loved how every month a) GlobalStar was on track while the expected end-of-year subscriber total kept dropping and b) Loral stock price keeps dropping every month from a higher level. Very clever. And with an appropriately cynical (but not bitter) regard for Bernie's pronouncements.
