I have a question - I just read where the year 2000 will be the worst year in an 11 year cycle of solar storms and solar winds. This is predicted to cause short circuits in some satellites, gps glitches, etc. Considered to be inconveniences, not impending disaster. Any truth to this?

Maurice, once again in fine form. Conical sartorial apparatus for baby feeding equipment and all. <gg> The long and the short of I* and G* for me is that both could be boffo. BUT. I* has a much higher breakeven and a much smaller market. It is higher risk. And G* has a much lower breakeven and a much higher upside, due to much greater capacity. G* has a much greater ability to lower price per minute and still make a pretty penny in out years as competition, from one quarter or another, enters. Cheap cell networks in unlikely places. GEO's with decent echo cancelling equipment. Whatever. So for me its G* in a walk. I'm as certain of G*'s better investment prospects as I am of any investment decision I have ever made. Which is not to say I am absolutely sure either will succeed, or that one or the other won't do well. Just the relative position of the two. Doug
