Jenne, can you provide the source of this quote regarding G* compatibility with HDR? I haven't seen this before...TIA, RS <COMMENT: Last week, we reported on Qualcomm, Inc.'s (QCOM, $363) new High Data Rate (HDR) technology capable of supplying reliable and cost-effective high-speed wireless Internet access. With the market taking notice of the potential impact of HDR, Qualcomm's stock has soared over the past two weeks. Naturally, the question arose as to how HDR might affect Globalstar Telecommunications (GSTRF, $28), of which Qualcomm is the 17% owner. Essentially, Globalstar reports that the HDR technology is not presently compatible with its system but should be soon. With limited bandwidth on a satellite, HDR would compete with voice service and likely be priced the same. All in all, HDR represents a potential upside for Globalstar as it may provide more reasons to use the Globalstar service and may increase the per minute usage per customer.>
