Bob: Thanks for elaborating Valueman's statement. Looking at it quickly, I thought he was referring to global capacity. Ken

Why should I give it a rest? Not a single person has responded to inquiries about data capacity on G--not one. So tell me BobRealEstate, what is the data capacity for G? How will they price data services? If someone like IFN uses all the capacity on G, will G still go bankrupt because they can't charge enough to move data minutes? Will a 800kbps data link displace ~100 voice circuits as one might think looking at it superficially(so that one user would need to spend $47/minute?)? If that is the case, then approximately 30-40 IFN data users could "sop up" the entire North American capacity of G. How will the costs stack up vs. GEO-based Connexion? As Maurice has pointed out many times, G is a voice constellation. Carrying the IFN banner around as some G* savior without answering all these questions is insane. That's why I don't give it a rest--I also don't give a rest to piss poor management and all the other G* follies.
