From the recent article in Scientific American: "The Iridium voice connection is more robust than that of the other planned personal communications satellite systems, because Motorola required that the handheld unit be usable from inside a vehicle (such as a taxi). This capability was dictated by their plan, which depends on serving international business travelers." This implies that GSTRF calls can't make the guarantee that they can penetrate glass and metal and still get to the satellite intact. And business customers will insist on this capability unless they're willing to pull over and stand on the curb to make a call. If it's wrong then the company should ask for a correction. Phil
