| 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. |

| Mobile voice and data communications services via satellite is not a new
concept. Inmarsat, the largest provider of mobile satellite communications
services worldwide, established the first mobile satellite system in 1979 for
the international maritime community. In the early 1990s, Inmarsat amended its
convention to extend services to the aeronautical and land mobile industries.
What is new, however, is the planned provision of satellite-based, global mobile
voice and data communications services to pocket-sized, hand-held devices. |
| Because they can communicate over longer distances, satellite cellphones
may offer lower performance than other cellular phones. One effect could be
on handset size and weight. If a satellite cellphone was noticeably bigger
and heavier than your current cellphone - say the equivalent of going back
one generation to an older phone - how would that influence you?
