GSTRF has a completly different business plan then IRIDF. I think, though most people dont understand,that they have very little in common. The price per phone and cost per minute are a bad joke on IRIDF. GSTRF has a lot to do with CDMA and its ability to maintain itself. It is in its nature a fundemental part of this argument

If Irdif succeeds, then Gstrf will almost certainly as well. If it fails, Gstrf may well still succeed. If Irdif succeeds, it will show there is lots of demand for worldwide one number mobile phone service, despite sky high prices, and a number of quality of call issues. Gstrf on the other hand has much lower prices, and probably much better call quality. It also will probably have much better sales distribution outside the U.S. But until it can get its birds up Gstrf has nothing. Doug
