The remaining sats were bought out and run by another company, immediately
turned around a lucrative military comms contract and then...? What's the

Well, phones are selling quite well on ebay, for a little over $(us)1K,
I don't know what the retail is.
Does the system include radiolocation of a transmitting phone?
