<<Re : ICO being the "camel's nose under the tent" for Teledesic. I thought ICO was going to be about 2 or 4 GEO satellites, and Teledesic would be 200-ish (originally 800-ish !) LEO satellites. So, what does the ICO system potentially teach Craig McCaw about operating Teledesic ?>> Hello, Jon. Re:McGaw purchase of Irid/Ico assets; I'm simply trying to get my arms around how these purchases might relate to McGaw's much larger plans re:Teledesic; if at all. If Teledesic is McGaw and partners near-term "biggie", and there's no doubt it is a huge and complex project, I'm wondering why a diversion via Irid/Ico and what the tie in might be. Maybe no relationship. Maybe he just sees a great asset sale and a fast way into a voice sat system. Maybe ..... ? .......VVVVVVVV
