Now let me see. Iridium is going around and around to nowheresville, essentially bleeding itself to death. Teledisc is being erased from the drawing board ever so slowly. ICO can't get any green fertilizer so is being buried in the weeds. That leaves, GLOBALSTAR, which is growing on the vine. The question is.....will G* bear fruit.....IF it gets its constellation in order ....IF there really are customers....IF the business plan works....Three big IFs at this point....All measurable and all to occur at the outside..in nine months....then we will either be sinking like the Titanic or soaring in space and in the market.....It seems to me that if you believe in the "concept" G* is the only game in town....and if you don't believe in the concept you're on another board.....At this time, it really is a roll of the dice. I'm going with G* and Loral.

Re: -Iridium's breakeven price per minute is over $1. Globalstar < 10c. Can You explain, how You calculated this? In my point of view, in telecommunication You invest to get certain capacity between two points. This capacity won't be never in use by 100%. If It goes near to maximum, You have two possibilities: Decrease the usage or invest to increase the capacity. As far I have understand, the problem in SAT phones are low usage of capacity, which are result of marketing mistakes. Veiko
