newspage.com From the above article:" per minute revenues for European wireless operators have declined substantially from approximately US$0.64 in 1995 to US$0.47 in 1998." Compare this to the various plans in the US at much cheaper per minute rates and one can see how European style competition has "helped" the consumer. At these prices, Globalstar may become competitive even in major population centers.

OFF TOPIC: Free Trade. I was in Japan in the early 80's, and can look over at my book shelf right now at "Theory Z" and "The Japanese Company". Remember how we thought that Japan's industrial policies and protectionism were going to drive them to world domination? They were going to buy California! I doubted my fuzzy-headed academic Finance professors, when they said that protectionism would long term be a disadvantage to the Japanese. So, we don't have to go back to the 30's to have learned our lesson. What China is doing right now (and what Malaysia, Singapore have done) hasn't served them. The pride of Asia right now is Taiwan. Why? Because they have the most freedom in their internal markets. Best, JS
