brian h is clearly saying what seems to be missed by so many. The markets that each of these three companies are targeting are quite different. We also seem to forget that the combined broadband spectrum of GSTRF and IRIDF will only serve a small fraction of the planet. What we are witnessing is the first of small steps. We can only hope that there are no big stumbles or falls, I can think of many that could happen.

The creation of a global satellite system(s) using hand held communicators is a fantastic enterprise and infrastructure. We are able to be present, and participate as owners, at its (their) creation. A wonderful opportunity.

Good luck to all.
