Re : Internet & e-mail to airline fleets via G* technology (with partners News Corp., Rockwell, and Qualcomm) ... Once again -- I ask the question : Does this (Globalstar) sound like a company that is going to disappear over (if it even comes to it) a mere $160 million ? I still say that $160 million is an extremely small number, given what G* has going ALREADY. Jon.

How do they do it? I thought that GSTRF satellites were limited to relatively low data speeds.....until the second generation. <snip> Broadband Internet data and entertainment will be transmitted directly to aircraft via geostationary satellites, with the return link carried over the worldwide Globalstar satellite network. In addition, the Globalstar satellite network will serve as an independent two-way channel for Internet access, e-mail, downloading of data and other applications. <snip> in other words, the downlink is broadband, but the uplink isn't - which is fine for most applications, unless you happen to be trying to upload a big file from inside a plane. I think this is great news, but I think the market will yawn. Mr A
