"quasi-sovereign / pentagon machines" The project was developed by Motorola to provide mobile communications worldwide. The technology was right. But they price too high. Mobile phones were too big. Cunnning Scandinavians developed ground-based GSM, made smaller and -relatively cheaper, mobile phones. Took the world market. They reated a brand new market that changed the world and gave pole climbers a chance to make money buildging those ground-based networks. Iridium bankrupted was nought by the Dept. of Defense for USD5 billion. Had Motorola aimed Iridium to raise down fixed telephony it would have been what MST INT are today: Monopolies. They have failed to 'read' the emerging markets whree people have never heard a dial tone. But MOT raise form the US where fixed telephony was ubiquitous and most advanced. I wrote an article for a magazine in 1987/88 telling which markets they should attack.
