If you look at the list of distributors in New York State, say, on the G* website you see several on Long Island, maybe three in Manhattan (one apparently in some guy's apartment), nothing in any of the major upstate cities. I can't believe this is a wise marketing strategy. Get the damn phones in every f*king wireless store and create a buzz so that it becomes a status symbol. How do they expect to sell phones with almost no distributors in Manhattan, so you have to make a major effort just to go see a phone? Can somebody explain the sanity of this approach?

Re-post of old G* bond information post (with links) (finally !). This is an up-dated version of post # 13532 Message 13886348 ***************************** SI: StockTalk: Communications : Globalstar Telecommunications Limited GSTRF To: TMann who wrote (13530) From: Jon Koplik Jun 14, 2000 9:53 PM Respond to Post # 13532 of 17769 I (once again) visited GMPCS ( gmpcs-us.com ) (this time -- along with "marginmike") today, over near Boca Raton, Florida. GMPCS is now located in new "spiffy" offices. We talked about a lot of things. The general impression that I got was : these Globalstar handsets are definitely selling. Maybe they are not selling fast enough to eliminate a cash squeeze for GSTRF, but ... they are clearly selling. Anyone who is too chicken to own GSTRF common stock -- buy some GSTRF bonds. It can be a real pain to get a G* bond order executed (unless "price is no object"), but my own expectation has been (and continues to be) : There is too much "there" (with the G* constellation, perfectly functioning system, data capability, CDMA "architecture," backing from many of the world's largest corporations, etc.) ... for G* to just "fold" over (a "mere") few hundred million dollars or so (IF it even ever comes to that point ...)
