A new distributor has been added to G*USA's list at globalstarusa.com World Communications Center worldcomcenter.com also sells Inmarsat equipment and packages, and is a former Iridium vendor (they provided the Iridium phone used by "Tori Murden, the first woman and first American, to row solo across the Atlantic Ocean....to stay in contact while rowing her way into history. The 36-year old Louisville resident landed on the French island of Guadeloupe on December 3, 1999. In addition to keeping in touch with news correspondents covering her story, Tori used [her] satellite phone to propose to her husband in the middle of the nearly 3000-mile Atlantic crossing.")

Thanks RS. That is what I seem to recall i.e. 30 mil +- per gw. I understand a cell tower cost about 500k per installation and is good for 25 - 50 miles. The local Airtouch folks say that 25 is what they shoot for. That makes the cost of a cell tower about 10,000 - 20,000 per mile vs a gw cost of 1667 per mile (30mil/1800 miles). Kinda of a rough calc and probable not really an apple to apple comparison but kind of interesting.
