CB,

Bet you $10 that Teledesic isn't operational. Ever. But we'll make the payoff date for the bet 2010. Do you prefer the cash method or NPV?

When I heard that they were proposing to offer as much as 450Kbps per 160 sq. mi. service footprint, I realized, this dog don't hunt. Unless they can increase bandwidth dramatically, there's no hope that Teledesic will ever offer a competitive solution to remote users.
