Thanks. Will be very curious what your friend has to say. I'll take any help I can get. Mike, any interest? Actually, rather than reinvent the wheel here I would strongly suggest that anyone interested start with a look at the SI Loral and Globalstar threads which are quite active and informative. Also those of you who already are in the Q will notice that there are often references to G* and Loral on the SI Q thread since the core technology - the communication to the satellite in the G* system is CDMA (so called "satellite" CDMA) and the G* phones will use that technology for access to the satellites, and either GSM or CDMA for terrestrial links. And the Q owns a chunk of G* in partnership with Loral and others. Chaz too

Justin: Part of a long, and I suspect, hard, campaign re Loral for the W&W. Some meat on the bones re launches of G* to get system rollout in the fall going. Reminder G* is Loral's potential "cash cow" due to 48% ownership. (Less than 1/2 for US tax law reasons) quote To: Rocket Scientist (5040 ) From: djane Friday, Jun 4 1999 12:33PM ET Reply # of 5049 Jeez, watching G* trade lately has been a real snooze. Lots of upcoming milestones though for hard-headed, realpolitik G* shareholders (and my favorite term "visionaries" :-)): 6/8 G* launch 6/24 ICOGF offering deadline 6/30 IRID loan/restructuring deadline (uh, how about 1 more month, boys...) 7/2 G* launch 7/99 G* ads roll-out 7/1 start of Q399 for mutual funds to buy for 9/99 G* roll-out 8/6 G* launch (32 sats needed for 9/99 roll-out) 8/16 launch 9/99 Phase I roll-out 10/99 Phase II roll-out Any other known events in the next 3-6 months? here's to a good 6/8 launch, djane P.S. Has anyone heard if the next launch is still on for 6/8 at 10:20 a.m. EST? I'll be in Florida around that time. unquote Chaz too
