Dennis, re terrestrial vs sat data, my understanding is that the data transfer capability is more of a function of the software and perhaps some hardware in the phone, not the sat system. However, I suspect that the software in the gw's will need some upgrading too. I was told the G* USA and G* Canada are pushing Qcom to complete the work so that the system can handle data. Once this is done, I would think that if in cell range, you would transfer data through the less expensive terrestrial system and sat if out of range. I was also told by G* Canada that there is high demand for the data capability. Along with data there is to be another major software upgrade late this year which will make it easier to use the phone for position location and other features. Apparently you can use it now for that but it takes several steps which they have not put in the manuals. I wish all this translated into a higher stock price but it doesn't seem to mean squat today. I really didn't think we would break 20 again but Mr. Market thinks otherwise.
