Thanks for the comment, Chris. G* down 1/8 to 16 3/4, IRID down 2 13/16 to 21 9/16, NASD down 36. Anyone want to bet when G* share price eclipses I*??

<<...and don't forget about the cruise ships... they are gonna LOVE this compared to the expensive ship to shore phones now in use...and which from my understanding are always busy...Thinking about franchising kiosks with phones on the ships to compete with the ship to shore...just like renting cell phones at the airport.>> Not being a Cruiser (been on a sleepover boat exactly twice, once a ferry from Maine to Nova Scotia and once across the English Channel, both more than 20 years ago) I'm curious why a kiosk would be necessary. Why not simply put phones in every room just like a hotel, so when you make a call it gets billed to your room or a credit card? I wouldn't think it would be such a big deal to attach some sort of conventional PBX front end to a Globalstar setup. Either way, I agree the Cruisers could be a good market for either Globalstar or Iridium, depending on where the cruisers are cruising.
