M: I know others who have not read your posts over the years would gain the opinion that you were not pleased with yesterday's landmark event. Your tongue in check post glosses over the importance of the event. It was HUGE! -- (Globalstar was up yesterday! That is a start and at this point I'll take anything I can get :-) Seriously though, you would think with all the evidence of the past available (I) that they would be able to see the folly of this long slow roll out. I am quite taken aback by their attitude. There are only two possibilities as I see it: They all have deluded themselves and there is no market, or they are holding back - going slow - getting everything lined up before* hitting the gas. I know which side I am on, but I cant completely rule out the less fortunate outcome either. I've done my DD and constantly re-evaluate my position through the thoughtful discussions on this thread. Each way I add it up, it still comes out the same: Globalstar success. The only problem is that the equation contains a couple of scale factors and depending on what you plug in, the outcomes can vary significantly. I rule out the outcome which results when I plug in "0" for the level of SP knowledge. Unfortunately, the correlation is growing for SP knowledge factor = 0.1 :-( I guess I need to redo some basic assumptions. But I cant seem to get past the point that you need to sell a product in order to make money from it. What am I missing? Jeff Vayda

It wounds me to hear you think that I could "gloat" over Globalstar, Maurice... this situation is about as funny as liver cancer. The minute pricing is a direct reflection of the operator support. It shows how committed the service provider is to make the product fly. 2.24 dollars per minute tells us how Vodafone feels about Globalstar. If I put it in colloquial language this post would probably get censored. "Die, evil scum" would be one of the mildest interpretations I can think of. Hard to come up with any positive way to explain Vodafone's pricing decision. Unlike some people on this thread have claimed, the real cost of mobile phone calls in Britain is actually lower than in USA - when you factor in the monthly fees. Vodafone can't seriously expect consumers to swallow a price premium topping 2'000% for satellite calls. The pricing of the Ericsson handset is nearly as insane as in the Nordic markets. Tero
