Maurice,

It hurts me to say this, but you are speaking in platitudes. I might have espoused one myself earlier.

Violence is not intrinsic to existence.

I have seen human beings beat the shit out of other human beings for fun! I am talking about adults.

My personal experience is that I have never raised a hand to someone that was not threatening me.

Ideally, all violence would be committed in the name of survival. That is not the case. Humans are just too sick.
Oh well, that is a small portion of the human race and they are naturally selected against. The crazy, violent for fun people will not have children in most cases and this is good of course.

To sum up for myself, I am a humanist. There is nothing more valuable to me than other people, unless they are harmful. Religion is for the birds.

LOL, Maurice, perhaps this is the real reason for GSTRF's sudden recovery...

Fox Network Admits Blame for VCR Clock Woes
dailynews.yahoo.com 

Officials at Fox Broadcasting Corp. acknowledged Friday that it had been sending out an incorrectly encoded ``time stamp'' for at least a year which had gummed up the internal clocks built into many video cassette recorders. The network said it had now stopped the signal.

Ready for the Bastille Day short squeeze continuing tomorrow. It got off to a good start.

No pricing on GlobalstarUSA web site, so maybe they are uploading a new, cheap, bring them in by the thousand, price plan.

I hope!

"Customers who commit to Globalstar's so-called Freedom 20 or Freedom 120 monthly plans for 24 months get the phone for $699.

In addition, the per-minute pricing for satellite service starts at just under $1 a minute for 500 minutes."

<Analysts have said the move signals Globalstar's difficulty in attracting investment in the face of slow subscriber growth and worsening cash projections for its global phone system.>

Well, there we are. It shows how hopeless Vodafone was to start prices high and work their way down. You'd think it obvious to start low and increase prices to stem demand than to start high, get damn-all customers then try to get some in what looks like desperation. Desperation is NOT the way to sell things. It frightens customers away. Even if not desperate, the price cut has the look of it and certainly convinces people that it was NOT going well.

So, will investors understand that it means GlobalstarUSA and Vodafone aren't totally dead from the neck up and GSTRF is worth buying now that they are getting marketing a bit better [still not good by a long way]? Or will investors panic and dump the stock? I guess we find out in a few hours.

Thanks for the info Robert.

My gut feeling is that investors that went through the early stages of terrestrial wireless rollout will have a flashback to similar announcements/pronouncements in the early 90's. Then it was "shaky" analog cell phone providers with sky high rates . . . look at their market caps (and business plans) now . . .

Like I said, the refrain sure sounds familiar. It is only a matter of time before folks make the connection.

<<Analysts have said the move >> "the move" referred to in this Reuters hit piece is the "deliberate default" on the line of credit, not today's price cut. Though no doubt "analysts" will sooon be quoted as saying much the same thing about the new price plan.

Meanwhile G*USAS hasn't seen fit to publish its own press release (in which its presumably not described as "struggling") on its website, so all we know is what Reuters sees fit to print.

So does anyone know if they can get stock quotes in prison? I'm just wondering if A&P is seeing what's going on the last few days...

This is an advertisement for that service. GlobalstarUSA should use it! Come to think of it, GlobalstarLP should use it too.

I thought I'd "Try It" so clicked there are sure enough, there was instantly a person [not a bot] there to answer questions. That's good cyberspace marketing.

If I go to globalstar.com  or globalstarusa.com  or anything to do with Globalstar I do NOT get fast customer service.

They could have people on line to handle phone enquiries or Web enquiries like this. By having enquiries on the Web, urls and other information could easily be given to the enquirer.

Tarken [son - allegedly his real name] told me about it and he's planning it for his snowboarding business. snowadventures.co.nz  [you need a Japanese brower to read it]
Since they'll be sitting there on-line anyway, they figure they might as well be instantly available to answer questions if people want to contact them like that.

Meanwhile, as you say Robert, terrestrial went through a lumbering start. Globalstar will, I suppose, go through a similarly lumbering start but with the sky the limit.

Bernie Schwartz has already used the cellphone analogy and negative comments made about cellphones in the early days. My very big bet is that he is right and in 5 years will be feted as a hero for getting this amazing service off the ground, literally.

Go G Go.

More short covering tomorrow? Keep 'em coming.
