<<It looks like ORBI is trying to REALLY go global. I wonder if they will even compete with AOL in the future...>> Although I am very long ORBI, I am afraid that statements like this will give rise to false hopes. Please consider that the current Orbcomm system has a very limited bandwith and is only capable of short bursts of information. That is the beauty of the system. Very inexpensive to build and maintain, therefore it will not require huge amounts of revenue to become profitable. Perhaps future systems will compete directly with the high data rate sats, but this is a long way off. Thanks. Boda
