Larry: I did not say they weren't starting up on Sep. 23. I merely pointed out that an eight day beta test might not be a prudent move. The other milestones they have achieved are impressive, but they should not push an untested system on new users. It would not be a "crushing blow" to delay rollout to work out the kinks. They are still first to market. The claim they made that they will provide the only global service on September 23 is obviously not true. I just wanted to point out that Iridium too has its share of delays, including handset, gateway, and software delays, just as G* is having.

Iridium is a dog - TDMA technology will be trashed by CDMA and others. MOT has decided to abandon this concept by investing in Teledesic. Furthermore, Globalstar's idea of partnering with land based telecom companies and wholesaling product to them for their resale and transport is brilliant. Additionally with some new chips, Globalstar can add high speed data which is Teledesic's big advantage. Review Gilder articles in Forbes on how this will work. I also love the Soros 4% investment at $29.167
