What I don't know about GTC and satcomms would make a good book, Run. So I am actually actively studying GTC equipment and capabilities at this moment. I still do not understand what, if any, financial benefits we derive from the ground stations and appliques that we own. Mr. Phipps seems to be excited about building more ground stations, so there must be a profit motive in building them. I don't know whether it is just a profit on construction and bringing them on-line or there are residual fees/payments as well. This is a good question to address to management, I think.

It does make sense that, if we have free GS simplex, then any improvement to their coverage would enhance the ease with which we could sell modems and trackers that use their network. When your profit margin is 100%, you could even give the trackers away and still make money. So any allusions to direct benefits I don't get at all either. I can't see them in any 10-Q's and you would think they would appear there. I am eager to be enlightened by real data in this area and not conjecture as well, Run. Thanks for pushing back on this point. I will try to find out and let's listen to other posters who might have real data. You have touched an important point, I think. Thanks on behalf of all of us. Great breakfast with Bank and Gtel, BTW. Great people here at WSGI Ihub town, IMO. IndyJonesOhio.
