Major upgrade to LOR FAQ. Lots of updates, wherever you see the little "new" image is where new content has been added. When you get there, you will see there is a lot added. There is also a section on the China Grand Jury Investigation, though only one response to it.... also, the menu (along the top frame with quotes, charts, link to SI, etc) has 4 links to different sections of the FAQ, to make for easier navigation. The Menu frame, on the left, is divided into those 4 categories mentioned in the previous sentance. Check the FAQ out.... jaberwocky.com or jaberwocky.com take care.....time to go out and drink! geoff

I happened to be back looking for something (stuff about Vsat) and stumbled again on your referenced post. I gotta say I still think it is a brilliant advert. for G*. One little add re the "ain't no ordinary dude". What Bernard Schwartz has got, I think, is a really fine market sense. He fully understands diverse technology (from an overview point of view) but also understands what the key real world drivers are for success. Enough technology, but as simple as possible to get the job done at lower cost and less likelihood of failure. Go for the cutting edge in CDMA, cause the carrying capacity and the multipath reception around obstacles are key key issues for satellite communications. Forget cutting edge to do switching between satellites, cause it costs a lot, greatly increases chances for failure, and duplicates ground based solutions (ie long distance) which are coming down in price fast. Cut in the locals, to grease approvals and get local marketing and billing. Keep your own wholesale prices to the locals low, and let them deal with setting the appropriate price and subsidy mixtures to bring in the traffic and make a tidy return. Etc., etc. Oh never mind. "ain't no ordinary dude" said it better. <gg> Doug
