81 posts today. What was just impressing me was that voting sight which BobRE set up. To the best of my knowledge the url has not been repeated since he announced it early Sunday morning. 111 entries now. I was there early Sunday and there were 6 or 7 votes. Either someone voted twice or else about 100 lurqers have come along and looked up the url. That's a lot, especially since I'll bet a lot of us did not bother to go to the polling booth. Or once we got there we decided we didn't have enough information in our heads to vote intelligently. There must be a lot of us and we don't know our own power. Let's name Mqurice marketing manager.

The Wireless Universe Dr. Irwin M. Jacobs SABEW Conference September 16, 2000 Audio Webcast Timemark: 42:24 "...I was just up in Los Angeles. We flew an airplane having very high data rate downloads through Globalstar, so we were painting screens using some of the same ideas that we use with HDR, but using the Globalstar system. So we see it expanding beyond voice available everywhere to data available everywhere, and in cases such as aircraft passengers in commercial aircraft, corporate passengers, boats, very high burst rate connections available to the internet. So a lot of energy going into continuing to expand that." qualcomm.com

Globalstar Service Provider Meeting...The wind was blowing just right and I heard that GLP was holding a Global Operations Forum this week. The focus is on improving processes between vendor and SPs on the one hand and improving operational effectiveness between SPs and the G* Operations control center (GOCC) on the other hand. I consider this as a very a positive step, as this shows that all involved are comitted to make this venture a successful one.

Yes I'm still here Maurice...GSTRF still by far my largest holding. I still read almost every comment on this thread...you know that's not always easy. I was involved in a new technology company about 30 years ago (cable tv). Almost went BK but stuck it out through the hard times to great reward. That is what I look for here. The field information provided on this thread from Jim Parkinson and others is the kind I can relate to. gidday to you too :)

You say torch, I say flashlight You say negotiate, I say negociate.. dictionary.com dictionary.com I must have been WRONG yet again! I don't mind the razzing. Must mean I strike a nerve once in a while.. Regards, PCSTEL

*SI Globalstar posts, MOU sales and Handset sales* x = 1000 . = 500 Cumulative To Jun1996-40 [SI lost them between May and Sep] Dec1996-52 [SI lost them between May and Sep] Jun1997-175 Dec1997-339 + 230 [old stream which went biotic + new stream] Jun1998-xx Dec1998-xxx Jun1999-xxxxxx Dec1999-xxxxxxxxx. Jun Y2K-xxxxxxxxxxxxxx. Dec Y2K-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. Waiting for the handset graph and minutes graph! I suppose they will be similar shapes to the posting graph. Here are the actual MOU [x = 1 million] cumulative sales [bold] and new WAG: Dec99 Start of service in a couple of places. Mar .5 Jun 1x Sep 3xxx Dec 7xxxxxxx Mar14xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Jun24xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx McDonalds will have sold more Big Macs than Big Mac has sold minutes, but Big Mac is gaining ground. 24 million minutes sold [out of 10,000 million available] since start of service to June 2001 won't pay the bills. They'll have to move things along faster than that or dig into the piggybank to fund the hockey-stick for another couple of years. For added fun, here are my WAG cumulative mobile numbers: x = 10,000 mobile handsets. - = 5,000 Mar- Junx Sepxx Decxxx- Marxxxxx Junxxxxxxxxx Sepxxxxxxxxxxxxx Decxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx That's 170,000 by December 2001. I increased it from 140,000 because they seem to be trimming prices a bit and gateways continue to roll out and roaming improves. Mqurice
