Iridium: Edsels In The Sky?

wired.com

From the article: Analysts point out that Motorola still stands to
lose more than anyone else if Iridium goes
down. Iridium plans to pay Motorola a whopping
$2.89 billion over the next five years for
maintenance and operations. An Illinois
company has put top engineers on the Iridium
project for nearly a decade.


Did the Bat people plan to bleed the money out of I* upfront? I guess they are now re-evaluating that position. (pretty expensive system up keep)
