I agree. And I really hope they start playing out the advanced technology of their LEO's. Everyone knows Teledesic (and Iridium) because they are very sexy systems. Loral has taken more practical approaches in both cases, but mainstreet doesn't really understand the details of intersat switching.. ... but LEOs are still sexy, so I think LOR should have a bunch of PR abou the coming age of LEO personal bandwidth, and how they are going to beat Teledesic like "Lor takes up challenge of Teledesic, will be in service 3 years earlier" would be a good title for a press release to start setting up a comparison between them. IF they get Cyberstar to be the second thing people think of when they hear the phrase "internet in the sky" they will be well positioned ot outflank teledesic. And the IPO would be red hot, too. Always good when you need funding. Like someone said before, Internet companies are hot and THIS is an internet company if there ever was one! Dragonfly
