<<Iridium, a consortium formed by telecommunications and industrial companies, was founded by
Motorola Inc. (NYSE:MOT - news), which still owns a 20 percent stake.

Motorola bonds were seen trading three basis points wider on Friday, a trader said.

Iridium has had problems meeting revenue and subscriber growth targets that were conditions of its
loans. It has said it no longer expects to have 27,000 satellite subscribers by May 31, for example.
At the end of March, Iridium had 10,294 customers.

Washington-based Iridium lost $505.4 million in the first quarter, 42 percent more than in the
year-earlier period, on revenues of just $1.45 million.

Results have been hurt by slow production and distribution of phones by suppliers, quality problems
with certain handsets, and problems with training and equipping enough salespeople. >>
