To all: It states within the news release:
"The team will combine the technical efforts now under way on the "Internet-in-the-sky" system pioneered by Teledesic and Celestri broadband satellite system conceived by Motorola"

Valueman:

Even though the Celestri-Teledesic combination
eliminates one competitor, this may leave the
Cyberstar-Skybridge system in a precarious position.
As a pure LEO system, Teledesic promised to be
a megaflop, but with a GEO component and a deep
reduction in the number of LEO satellites, the
overall system will become quite attractive, IMHO.

Best regards,

Bernard Levy

Valueman and all,

If I remembered correctly, MOT got upset the last time when Teledasic did not select MOT to become its partner. That is the reason MOT announced the Celatri project right after this incident costing 12 billion at the time.

They broke up then and remarry now.
