Bernard, your statement: "In fact, to a large extent, the future of satellite telecommunications rests on G's fate." rather smartly raps the nail on the head. My first reaction was that it was too dramatic. On further reflection, I couldn't figure out what constellation would be left to carry the satellite telephony spear if G didn't! Rather an awesome responsibility for a little company that, as poster RMiethe pointed out, had 7 employees as recently as 1996 wouldn't you say? The upcoming launches carry awesome implications as G* profitability will indeed skyrocket [heh,heh,heh]if they have the field to themselves for the intermediate future. Nothing like a little monopoly to boost margins I've always said. Best, Mike Doyle
