MOU is definitely the key. As I have said before, the whole biz model falls apart if the fixed phones aren't pumping out the minutes. They'll need far more money than what he disclosed today.

My problem is not the 'selective' release of information or the lowering of expectations. I just would like Bernie to pick a plan and stick with it. Surely he could massage the numbers to get a plan they can meet. The bar was set way too high in the beginning - they needed to do that to get the financing. That was then. G* is the only one left standing. Let us drop the bar so we can clear it. After the street gets some warm fuzzies 'cause we are meeting the numbers of the plan, then let's update it and raise the bar higher. That said, since the uptake will not be linear, why all the panic? You would think these analysts have their money or their livelihood on the line. We have seen from past events, that none of 'those' folks are held accountable for anything they say or do, however outrageous. Jeff Vayda

Globalstar USA, a subsidiary of Vodafone AirTouch, is now offering full satellite phone roaming capability, extending coverage to regions beyond the U.S. and Canada. With immediate effect, Globalstar USA customers can make outbound calls from southern Brazil to anywhere worldwide for US$1.99 a minute plus long-distance charges. They can also make outbound and inbound calls from 17 European countries for US$1.79 a minute plus long-distance charges. $1.79 plus long-distance charges in some of these countries makes call not very cheap. OK there is no alternative so when you use it you have to use it but that works both ways so that the extra income for the local carriers could also be reduced as its all marginal income. Hard to see how thre is going to be big usage at these prices. L
