<< Also, why can't everyone have 200 to 800 kbps data service???>> Probably you could, but not from a 13 ounce, 1000$, handheld terminal. And if you're content with a larger, more expensive terminal, there are probably cheaper services accessible than G*. Anyway, it's great news!

How do they do it? Is it HDR over satellite CDMA (similar to HDR over 1xRT)? A recent news report had indicated the possibility of HDR rates. 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. Also, note that it is the Globalstar link that is 200 kbps. >>With QUALCOMM-developed enhancements to its Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) technology, the Globalstar data link will initially operate at speeds in excess of 200 kbps. When user demand increases and ground terminal capacity can absorb the greater data load, this data rate can be increased to over 800 kbps -- faster than most DSL or cable modems.>>
