Maurice, I have a hard time understanding why anyone in Western Europe would want a G* phone who is not (a) a maritime user or (b) travelling outside W. Europe.

Since they didn't have maritime kits for most of this year, and didn't support roaming until very recently (indeed Elsacom's site doesn't give very many clues that it even supports it now!) I'm surprised they were even able to sell 2K phones. OTH, I don't doubt the MoU per UT was very low and brilliant analysts will extrapolate from that number to deduce usage in places like Australia.

The more interesting part of Elsacom's territory is in E. Europe, including parts of the forme SU and the Baltics, but they are only now coming on line commercially, if we are to believe Loral's investor's brief.
