Mohan this is great news below! Just give me more bandwidth! And how's this for backbone: WCOM,QWST,STRX,ORBI,GSTRF. You know high speed bandwidth is going to be a precious resource as the information super highway expands into the new age of distributing digital data to all kinds of users and networks worldwide. -- ORBCOMM Authorized by Fcc to Add 12 Satellites to Constellation...The FCC license allows ORBCOMM to enhance both the quality of our service and the capacity of our system to deliver data and messaging services to our customers around the world,'' said Alan L. Parker, President of ORBCOMM Global Development. -- The FCC also granted OCC's request to modify its license to allow for more efficient, higher data rate subscriber downlinks. In addition, the FCC has authorized an increase in the orbital altitude of the non-high inclination satellites in the ORBCOMM constellation from 775 km to 825 km. These modifications will allow ORBCOMM to improve availability in the higher latitudes, including Alaska, Northern Canada, Northern Europe and Russia, while increasing capacity in the temperate zones. biz.yahoo.com
