I'm definitely waiting to see what the Globalstar Sat-Fi product looks like: “Today, our throughput is 9600 baud, which is about four times faster than the competition for an MSS product like this.........
If true, that's a heck of a lot faster than Iridium's product.
Globalstar may be fine for you down south, up here in Alaska not so much. The Globalstar satellite constellation is optimized for the mid-latitudes. Their sat phones for voice comm have developed a very bad reputation up here. Without a totally unobstructed view to the south (such as out on the ocean), they don't work worth sh_t.
Unless and until they improve their coverage of northern areas, Globalstar is not an option for me.
