Well, first we're told that Venezuela has just come on line with a $30 million gateway and "already" has 300 customers - and then this. Something doesn't track here.

Argentina: Tender for new satellite

RELATED SYMBOLS: (GSTRF)(LOR)

Because of the interest of two companies in operating mobile services through
satellite, the Secretariat of Communications will call a public consultation to
decide how to do the bid to exploit this business. The project consists in the
provision, services and operation of a satelliteat 36,000 metres altitude, a
US$250mil total investment. The satellite will cover all the national area and a
large part of the American continent. Those interested in being part of the
consultation system can do it from the beginning of February 2001. The two
companies interested in providing these services are: the Canadian company
Telesat, and Boeing, through its Tuyusat project. Once the satellite is
operating, companies who access it will be able to provide mobile and satellite
telephony services, Mobile Internet and other applications. At the moment, the
only company who provides satellite telephony is Globalstar. Argentina has
satellite agreements with the United States, Canada and Holland, and plans to
reach new agreements with Brazil, Spain and Mexico, because of their interest in
operating in the domestic market. In this sector Nahuelsat, IntelSat, New Skies,
PanamSat, Loral Skynet and Telesat already operate.
