Jon, I am in complete agreement "How many "mere mortals" had an advertising insert for a satellite phone stuffed with their monthly phone bill ? I would predict you will be absolutely stunned at the excellent subscriber numbers and growth rate for Globalstar." I can't believe how many people have said to me that want a sat phone and will buy one as soon as it is available. Some of those folks know I am a G* long but others had no clue. It is one of the things that keeps me bullish. I am not hearing things like "who would want one of those?" Maybe I am very naive. Maybe not.

Dear Jon: Thanks for insights into your "conversion" into a believer. I love hearing stories like that. I sincerely hope there are enough of the "you's" out there to make the MSS business a profitably sustaining enterprise. But, as previously stated, I have my doubts. With respect to How many "mere mortals" had an advertising insert for a satellite phone stuffed with their monthly phone bill? Here in the Czech Republic everyone who is a Paegas Radiomobil GSM customer (http://www.paegas.cz) got just such an insert last year. (I am a Paegas customer and got the insert). I recall reading several months later in the press that Paegas had sold somewhere between 10 and 20 Inmarsat Mini-M terminals and didn't see that big a demand for service. Best regards, Geoff
