Current Price is... Repeat season! Click 'Next'. Thanks for the link again: Message 8178973 I won't go through the whole 'Current Price is...' thing again, but the interaction between photovoltaic supply, battery capacity, circuit availability and price has never been resolved. Not to my satisfaction anyway. Readware came in for special criticism because he was not prepared to do other than make smug assertion and cast aspersions on the issue. That sort of attitude grates with me. Especially when feats of clay are evident in the industry. The CDMA power conserving accomplishments are nothing to do with what I'm talking about. CDMA uses power control to minimize signal strengths. Satellite and handset power output need to be minimized. CDMA by MightyQ! does a great job. Nobody else could come close to it. Path diversity and other aspects of Q! technology are going to continue to improve Globalstar enormously. Q! is working on Condor, which is a secure communications project for military and other applications. This project will apply also to Globalstar. Globalstar is going to improve enormously thanks to Q! My point for Readware was about optimizing the electricity available from the photovoltaics, the storage capacity of the battery and the circuits available. To briefly explain, it is no use having the sun providing lots of electricity from the photovoltaics and the batteries full if nobody is using any circuits. The power goes to waste. Similarly, if the batteries are empty, the photovoltaics can't keep up, because the satellites are eclipsed and every circuit is in demand with people pushing SEND and getting nothing, then we are also in a bad situation. The way to balance demand is with price. Spot pricing! Commodity trading. Market clearing. Supply and demand. These are the phrases which show the way. When demand is high, raise the price. When low, drop it! Instantaneously and displayed on the handset. That will get unimportant calls deferred if the system is short of power or busy. It will boost call demand if a special price is on offer. That's the short version. It's very simple and it bamboozles me that people seem unable to 'get it'. A bit like people on the Q! thread are bamboozled that 'Wall Street' took until recently to 'get it' in regard to Q! If Readware or anyone would care to debate it, I'm all ears. Well, eyes. If he would express an opinion or ideas it would be great. But he didn't. The comment he gave was only words to the effect that they know what they are doing and bimboes shouldn't question them. If he has access to the internet, he might like to show up here to debate. You are quite right that people should be able to express views without malice being shown them. I assure you that what I ascribed to him was correct. Nobody has yet come up with a valid reason to not do it! A good one would be that at 1c per minute for a Globalstar call, nobody cares. But we aren't talking about that price yet by a long long way. If you've got one, I'd be interested, but please don't repeat Readware's comment to the effect, 'We know what we are doing and you are ignorant'. Maurice
