* Iridium will beat Globalstar to market, probably by more than 6 months, nobody questions that. * Iridium will have superior coverage, nobody questions that. * Iridium is spending $1.1B more. * Iridium's sats will last ~8 years, though they take a conservative position in their 10K. Globalstar's sats will last ~8 years, though they are only saying 7. * The only example of a call price we have has them pretty similar, yet the G* mutual admiration society discounts the source.
