Verdad, maybe you forgot that Globalstar phones have a terrestrial option too. A QUALCOMM Globalstar phone user in Australia has the option of either the Globalstar service, or failing that for some reason, the terrestrial option. Driving or flying across Australia, there is a LOT of territory with no terrestrial coverage so the only option is Globalstar. Similarly in Canada. You seem to not understand that terrestrial coverage is much more limited than Globalstar coverage. All of Canada and Australia are covered with Globalstar, but only a small portion of them are covered with terrestrial service. It's not "equally likely that satellite or cellular service is unavailable". If out of terrestrial coverage area, there is zero chance of terrestrial coverage. There is no doubt about that and no statistical issue. There is NONE. There might still not be Globalstar coverage [say something temporarily went wrong with the system at the time] but you seem to think it equally useful to take a terrestrial or Globalstar phone out into the remote areas of Canada and Australia. It is not. You don't think I'm on thin ice, you are just refusing to think. Those people would NOT have been rescued via a terrestrial phone. Surely you can get that. Globalstar phone = alive, terrestrial phone = dead. In other words, no longer alive. Deceased. Mqurice
