So GTC is what it claims to be--a "glorified" reseller of principally GlobalStar services. Thanks, BB. The real 2012 failure seems to be not expanding the sales channels. Resellers of resellers? Good thing the margins on that free simplex are good! Around 520 BC an ancient writer said, "Who despises the day of small things?" The question was meant to be rhetorical. The sat market is growing, the real question IMO is whether GTC will grow with it. JMO, IndyJonesOhio.
