Good point on Iridium [compared with ICO, Teledesic etc not actually launching] but if Iridium had slashed prices, at least it would have proven that people are not all as rich as Bernie and the swarms hiding inside the Lockheed fortress in San Jose cannot afford $3 a minute plus $thousands for a handset and sundry establishment fees and ongoing hassles. As with terrestrial service, coverage will loom large as a marketing issue. You'd think Nigeria and South Africa would be good places to have gateways. No wonder Africa is impoverished and horrible - they can't even turn on a couple of gateways. I have watched Indians in Bangalore queued to buy time on a public phone. I forget the exact price but it was about $2.50 a minute. There's a post back in the midsts of time covering it. The point was the huge price so many Indians were willing to pay for a conversation. If I had had a Globalstar phone with the right pricing, I could have sold minutes all day every day for calls to family overseas - getting past the rip-offs in India would be the key. I guess termination charges were huge too so local calls via Globalstar would still be hugely expensive even if the Globalstar leg was free. Off-topic political drivel [stop reading now!!] - you'd think that electorates would figure out after a few centuries that voting libertarian is the way to increase wealth, reduce crime, and generally improve life. Indians go on voting for big government despite half a century of grinding poverty. New Zealand is voting itself down the drain, election after election. Same for nearly all democracies. It's an interesting process. The more closely a government has matched Libertarian ideology, the better the place has been. At least India seems to have stopped blaming the British Empire for their woes. They have stopped ditching English too, having realized that a lingua franca is the way to participate in cash flows around the world. Young people were done a great disservice for a decade or two while English was suppressed in favour local yokel limitations. Now you had REALLY better stop reading - "racist" rant follows. My theory is that India could lead the world. They have got insanely clever people sprinkled through the north west. There are now haplotype studies of migration flows and one of the ones I was interested in was that of Ashkenazis. After scrutinizing and pondering for considerable time, it looked as though Ashkenazis are made out of DNA supplied from north west India [I forget the place - I'd have to get the maps out again] and Morocco with Palestinian. I guess that hidden inside the huge Indian population is piles of that DNA. But maybe it's not. Maybe the combination of migratory Moroccans and intellectual Indians was what created the abstractive Ashkenazis who then became the wandering Jews. Whatever his motives, Adolf thinking he was eliminating an inferior race was about the most stupid idea available to him. He must have set the world back a huge amount. A vastly disproportionate contribution to human development has come from Ashkenazi Jews and he successfully murdered millions [huge numbers if not millions]. Now, the idiots in Iran think it a good idea to do the same. They should be treated the same way Adolf was treated in the second half of the war. Palestinians have obviously got no better idea than Adolf. They should be super pleased that millions of Jews want to set up shop next door. Leadership is great. I love it that although I lacked brainpower, I could work at some low value job, save some money, send it to smart Jews who then invent CDMA etc and we then get rich by making millions of lives better, including the stupid Palestinians and Iranians who are no doubt pleased to be using CDMA. It's true that it's important not to send the money to Bernie or Bernie. Irwin and Andy are the sort of people to back. One can't just ignore individual merit in a racial rant. Note that Irwin and Andy are engineers/scientists. Bernie and Bernie are not. The moral of the story must be to back Ashkenazi engineers. Corollary = engineers live by causal relationships and dislike things which do not make sense. Crime by engineers is very low. They like to understand fundamentals and make things, not break things. Scientists are further down the pecking order. Traffic engineers [roads] are a blot on humanity, seeming to have ambition to stop traffic, not get it going. Look who started Google. Ashenazi data here: lagriffedulion.f2s.com Mqurice PS: I learned about the power of financial and intellectual symbiosis as a child when my brother [8 years older than me] and I started a bomb club. He said, "You put up the money, I'll put up the brains and we'll make bombs". I thought that was a great idea, so I got my hard-earned cash out [from collecting bottles for recycling and anything else which earned money], we bought matches and crimped the heads into bullet cartridges. We also had other bomb technology, but I don't want to disclose it in case Islamic Jihad is reading this. That bomb club process has stood me in good stead. Earn money, give it to somebody with brains, share in the rewards. Easy!!
