but how about posting information we can use... You're a big boy, use your interpretation/analysis skills. So, some reporters working on tight deadlines on new subjects get it wrong. Your point? Disregard it if you'd like. As you should know by now, I post everything :-) djane P.S. Have you got any better articles, analyst reports, etc. to share with the thread? Much appreciated...

I suggest it's interesting and useful to know what the press is saying about Iridium, whether it's accurate and fair or not. I appreciate djane's gathering and disseminating these articles.

Onnonotthatattitudeagain, Thanks to djane, we get a lot of good stuff to read. We should not criticize like some fat, Roman Emperor wanting only the most succulent morsels brought by the slaves of the Empire to our lazy lips. Andy, I want you to get me better information than you have been providing. As for piling on, bad luck. I piled on 2 years ago, by myself when all were saying how there was room for all. LarryL was particularly disparaging of my wild ideas. No doubt he has suffered losses in proportion to how right my wild ideas were. If there is a lot of piling on, maybe ICO will realize they should delay their launch until the market is proven by Globalstar. Maurice

Launch delays. It rained at Cape Canaveral! You'd think they'd have umbrellas. Somehow, water getting in the GPS satellite and making the wiring wet seems as basic as the soldering in the Long March and the plastic housings [which cracked] and the connectors [which didn't connect] in the Qualcomm handsets. This launch business looks as though it needs an infusion of quality control and maybe even outright thinking. O-rings get too cold and a space shuttle crashes. Zenit mooring rope isn't undone. Rain on the nose cone. Solder. These do not seem like rocket science. With the backups we have available, at least the service date shouldn't slip. Maurice PS: AMA, whew, we sure made a meal of your idle comment....//I'm not acting as an Iridium apologist, but how about posting information we can use... // I guess people are sensitive about not irritating good information sources. There was really only the exaggerated '3 pound handsets' and picking the highest price comments which were stretching a point. I'd put that down to poetic license - journalists don't fuss too much about being accurate [they need dictionaries for words like empirical and quantitative]. The important thing is for ICO shareholders to know that they will lose money if they launch. For no charge, I spent hours in this very thread [and the preceding one] warning Iridium shareholders such as Dragonfly and LarryL to save their money. Would they listen to me? No! Did they thank me? No! Did they pay me? Well, maybe the cheque's in the post. Or possibly the check's in the mail. Here is an official warning. ICO shareholders ::: DON'T DO IT :::
