Low margins are due to R&D and the cost of putting up a network of satellites which will be owned by ORBI itself, only to collect service revenue by subscribers for HIGHER margins down the road. A good company will always invest in itself for growth down the road! What was it about $11 million of cost in the last quarter for ORBCOMM? Just think of the money ORBCOMM will make when the system is complete. At least ORBI pulls in a net profit while spending tons of money to expand. I can not say this for other other satellite companies that are suffocating in debt holding net losses every quarter. I am very proud of the ORBI management team and I feel they are doing a GREAT job! HIGHER MARGINS are not far down the road... PATIENCE!!
