I would also think that the carrier partners, even if only limited partners, have probably had valuable input into structuring and marketing plan based on their experiences.

Drew, Thanks yours. I just spent an hour reading the globalstar 10K, and ended up saving it to read the rest tomorrow. I will note that it is probably the longest 10k I have ever seen! I have been reading your postings on this thread, which convinced me that my initial reaction to the initial question--whither the future economics of satellites?--was wrong (my original post was negative). Also QCOM (although not the last few days--too much dross from the newcomers!), and today GSTRF some. But, Drew, you didn't address my question--Will Globalstar be able to handle any kind of IP bandwidth? I haven't seen any indication of it on their website. Of course, I assume it will be able to handle data on the same basis as now seen for CDMA cellular--which I understand will be narrowband initially. It seems that wideband may await the second generation of satellites, due in 2005 or so. Is that your understanding? Best, JS
