List of countries in Europe that G* USA says you can roam in Albania, Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Bosnia, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Macedonia, Monaco, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, San Marino, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Switzerland, United Kingdom and the Vatican City globalstarusa.com 28 countries in all; leaving aside Andorra, SanMarino and VC, I found it remarkable that Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Poland and Czech Republic are open to US roamers when TESAM has not announced start of service there...indeed has no local office or announced local distributors according to tesam.com Similarly, Vod has made no announcements about service in UK or Greece, although the latter has been said to be in billable service for some time...

virtually written off satellite phones as a mass market mobile system If it's any comfort, so has everybody else. It addresses a market niche, not the mass market of teenagers hanging out in the mall. There are enough potential subscribers to profitably support one worldwide service if the pricing, distribution and marketing gets straightened out. Hmmm, what does this do, if anything to ICO? losing interest on the grounds that the technology is "old" First time I ever heard CDMA referred to thusly. Leave it to the Euros to come up with that jewel. Speaking of the Euros, how's their currency doing these days? (Yeah, that's a bash, but it felt good!)

>> the European Council of Ministers, has virtually written off satellite phones as a mass market mobile system in the face of the expected rise of 3G systems. << 3G systems will have a smaller and spottier global foot print than conventional voice systems. Using 3G as an excuse only lays bare the real political motivation of the EU. Satellite phone systems are an American inititive. The EU wants to trade a satellite phone frequency agreement for an UMTS frequency agreement. Its a bargaining position.
