<SK signed roaming agreement with China Mobile last Oct, same with Docomo last Aug. I wonder how profitable these roaming agreements are, or how expensive it may be for the subscribers to roam? > Still cheaper than Globalstar's roaming, but I'm hoping Blackstone will review the situation and recommend Globalstar become the low-cost supplier of international telecommunications roaming. People would have a cute, little, long battery life, CDMA or GSM or TDMA or analogue or PHS or whatever handset for local use and the Globalstar phone [with call forwarding or the same number or a separate number if they prefer] for out in the sticks or roaming out of 'home' networks. That would give the Globalstar service providers a major competitive advantage over their competitors who can't provide complete coverage while charging a lot of money for the limited coverage they can provide with roaming agreements.
