Knowing them, they want the person who owns the phone more than they want the phone. Actually, most of our embedded journalists' reports come via sat-phone. And interestingly, the US military has also put a ban down on certain brands of sat phones, due to their GPS capabilities.

FAO Plan Confirmed FAO, Inc. received confirmation of its Plan of Reorganization from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court. As part of its Plan of Reorganization, the Company stated that it had received a commitment for up to $77 million in bank financing to be used to fund the Company's operations once the Plan becomes effective. The bank financing includes a $67 million revolving credit facility being provided by a group of banks led by Fleet Retail Finance, Inc. and a $10 million term loan being provided by Back Bay Capital Funding, LLC. In addition, the Company has received agreements for the purchase of $30 million in convertible preferred stock from a group of investors led by Kayne Anderson Capital Advisors, L.P. After issuance of the preferred stock and securities issued to creditors under the bankruptcy plan, existing equity holders are expected to retain approximately 11% of the Company's outstanding equity on a fully diluted basis. The exact percentage retained will depend on the final amount of preferred stock the Company issues at closing. > For more information on FAO: > www.bankruptcydata.com/BDR.asp?ID=1945
