GSAT going strong. The next and final launch is 5 February. Google is doing some test and development network at their HQ in spectrum adjacent to Globalstar's which suggests overlap would be easy. Globalstar has "ancillary terrestrial component" authority and is developing such ideas.

Globalstar opted for delisting from Nasdaq recently rather than reverse split the shares. Being below $1 for too long meant delisting [dopey rule but that's life in the markets - computers can handle 0.99 or 0.10 these days. I guess they think they will soon be up to $2, $5, $20 so splitting it makes no sense just to please some computers and Nasdaq rules. Good for Globalstar.

But they have still not announced anything on prices for their megabytes from the new system which is nearly complete. I have a dabble just so I'm in, but no Tonka Truckload until I see the whites of their pricing eyes.

PS My predictions for gold are not finished, but I haven't figured out yet what will happen over the next couple of years. As I mentioned a couple of years ago, Dec 2012 price was tricky because of "hunting". There's panic lurking not far beneath the markets with $trillions frightened of being dragged beyond the event horizon into the Black Scholes singularity where the rules of life change dramatically and Teotwawki occurs.

In fluid mechanics, there's laminar flow and turbulent flow. When Reynolds number is reached, laminar flow suddenly flips to turbulent. en.wikipedia.org Similarly in financial relativity theory, there is laminar flow of financial instruments and turbulent flow. Things seem hunky dory while laminar, with flow rate increasing and everything seemingly normal and happy. But people ignorant of fluid mechanics and financial relativity theory mechanics make the same sort of mistake as an 18 year old male newly turned loose on a car. He feels the need to put the pedal to the metal and see how fast he can go. Children with bicycles and tricycles sometimes learn about "speed wobbles". Perhaps many politicians missed important aspects of childhood and young adulthood and never learned about speed wobbles and what happens when the vehicle goes into a ditch, power pole or bridge abutment. They learn [or don't depending on their survival] about nihilism and reality and how perception is not really reality. Reality is reality, and perception is just the interpretation and feedback loop to recreate a new reality within the rules of the four forces of the apocalypse.

If politicians push financial relativity theory past the Reynolds Number into turbulent flow, they will be shocked at the change and even more shocked if the event horizon is reached and the whole mess collapses into a singularity and Teotwawki. Some would say Reynolds Number was reached at the peak 5 years ago.
