| Before the turn of the century, we will witness the launch of one of the most
exciting, most promising -- and riskiest -- technology ventures to challenge the
telecom industry worldwide. Behind a remarkable variety of labels, several
international consortia are planning the introduction of global satellite
services, with many promising to deliver the ultimate telecommunications
solution -- global connectivity to and from any spot on the earths surface.
All are hoping to cash in on strong demand for telecommunications services in
developing countries, where there exists an enormous gap between demand and
availability of conventional fixed and mobile communications services. |

launching systems that will let you make calls from around the world with a
hand-held satellite cellphone. Im trying to gather on-the-ground,
independent evidence on the preferences of technology-savvy consumers.
(Dont worry, Im not trying to sell you anything.) |
