IFN is a concern that G* would like to have.<GG> At first I wasn't too impressed with revenues, until I looked at a post on Gilder. refer to post. Message 14204168 As you can see there are significant revenues, which could carry G* by itself to the black. As far as data hogging up all of the voice. CMDA uses frequency division multiplexing. It is my understanding that the data will run at a different bandwidth and will not interfere with voice. A G* tech could clear this up, but it is not unusual to do this in broadband. Now the transmissions are limited to the particular gateway that the plane is in contact with at the time. Once it gets to the gateway, the transmission goes terrestrial. I don't know what terrestrial service that G* is contracted with for their gateways, but if it somebody like LVLT or GBLX, the communications is very scalable. At this time I feel that the Gateways are the bottleneck. G* may not have the highest performance equipment in place, but the most reliable equipment. If I was G* I would not take the Gateways to full capacity until I had a complete circuit running reliably for at least 30-60 days. Once I was convinced it was working right, then I would spend the money for added capacity. It is for this reason and others such as billing services, etc. that IMHO that G* has been slow in promoting the service. I feel that with the Freedom plan, G* is now ready to aggressively market. Regarding CDMA 2.5G and 3G upgrades, these could run on their own separate bandwidth, parallel to the existing system. There is a lot of available bandwidth on a broadband network. All of it is accessible with current technology, but may be restricted by governments. Go to the G* home page and look in the glossary. There are various description of the different bandwidths available in the G* system. It would be nice if somebody from G* explain their system. I am reverse engineering his,<GG> but I don't think I am far of if at all. Vman has some valid concerns, which I don't share. I feel that from a technical side this is a non-issue. Wall Street is not responding probably because it is more that 9 months out before you see significant revenues and there have been a lot of expectations for G* that have not flourished. There is still a large contingent that believes G* will go under. If G* can sign some large contracts with say the DOD, as suggested on this thread, and other governments, procure more financial assurance, then this attitude will change. Market psychology is negative, when it changes positive then G* will rise on expectations. Right now it is show me MOUs.
