The golden old days of fun, sarcism, chuckj and Naploenic campaigns against the evils of GSM, lead by El Duce (Dr. Frezza). Ah, those were the days!! Two hairy beasties (persian cats with alot of personality), my sister dump on my doorstep enroute to a six month stay on Sahkalin Is. took care of my gecko.

No, no I'm not impressed with LEO's for delivery. The world has far too much fiber and not enough. Hard to compete with a strand that carries 192 DS-3's worth of bandwidth, and climbing. Narrowband wireless can't compete with it and satellite can't compete with legacy terrestrial wireless. Niche market at best and probably works well in Austraila where you have a huge expanse of land that has few that live there. Most of the US has wireless as do Europe.

Nah, I'll stick with the need for clean electricity as the world is in dire need of it.
