Bill,

I think you and I have conversed about this topic, maybe not (I'm losing my mind <gg>)

But one way to analyze the probability of terrestrial phone build out, cellular build out and sat buildout in these underdeveloped countries is to look at cost.

1- Land lines are horribly expensive, you need CO's, fiber, digging, etc... No here
2- Cellular- you need towers placed everywhere, these are expensive but I do not know how much.
3-G* Sat booth- Plop! There you go, sounds pretty easy to me, eh...

I too believe this is a real opportunity for GSTRF. AM I missing something!?

Regards,

MileHigh

Bill, I've got to agree that fixed phones will be a big surprise - especially with Globalstar's somewhat deserved 'globally local' tag. With fixed phones, roaming is a non-issue. As the system stands now, it almost seems as if it were designed specifically for fixed phones in remote locations and coastal maritime even though I know this is not the case.

Regards, Dave
