Good grief, a Web search comes up with 112780 references and they are NOT all in Chile. Here's another: <Founded in 1859, Valparaiso University has been known for its outstanding liberal arts education and professional programs. Its location in northwest Indiana gives students the benefits of the premier city of Chicago, the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore on Lake Michigan and the friendliness of the residential community of Valparaiso.>

Though the Web revolves around the USA, it seems likely that thanks to the FBI and I suppose CIA spooks, Chile will get coverage before USA in the Globalstar component of the Web. Also, while AirTouch employees suggest "Iridia" to people who want a satphone, it doesn't seem likely to be a big seller in the USA even if the FBI do decide that people are allowed to call for help on a Globalstar phone [they can't be too careful you know - people might order cocaine instead of emergency services and the FBI needs to protect them against emergency services and cocaine even if the person placing the call wants those things.]

Call me cynical!
