Here's a question I have for the shorts. Did you have an opinion or position in QCOM from 1993 to 1998? I ask because it's clear to me *G was a brainchild of Dr. J & Dr. V. Owning QCOM brought me to blows with my professional advisor till I fired her. Maybe I was lucky, but I was right. If Dr. J invests his money, I'm in. When he's out, I'm out. He's already made me more than I expected in this lifetime. During that time frame, an incredible amount of FUD was spread. His character and his vision was questioned. Big mistake. IMHO Tony

Unfortunately, G* is limited to 200 miles of land... so Inmarsat has nothing to worry about. One exception, far North Atlantic (the Titanic Zone). Brazilian farmers are a larger market than "drill rigs" most of which have frac T-1's for telemetry and SCADA. One other high growth area targeted by Boeing is inflight internet with those cute Datron tracking antennas.... unfortunately the 9600bps limitation of G* rules them out of that market too.... And about those 7 cent per minute costs ??? According to G* figures, this is for a FULLY LOADED system... so the figure of 850-1100 currently billable phones drives that cost per minute figure into the stratosphere.... more like $435.00 - $710.00 per MINUTE at the present time...
