It winter of top of a 14,000 foot Peruvian mountain, so its cool enough up there, and the audio sounded great.

Iridium and Y2K Planning Organizations have begin calling about renting large numbers of Iridium telephones as part of their Y2K contingency planning. This will create a demand spike as some companies are asking for over 50 units. We will soon be announcing a "Y2K Special" for renting these units, however there is a limit to the number of units that can be rented for such a short duration. Your organization needs to get a contract in place soon to insure its needs can be met before the supply is gone. Iridium and Chapter 11 Iridium has filed for Chapter 11, which is a protection from creditors while they restructure the business and prepare to make good there debts. Many folks confuse Chapter 11 with a liquidation there is a big difference, many companies, especially younger ones go through time of poor cash flow as the business grows to meet the business plans expectations. The news media generally does a very poor job of reporting this on any company, however NPR's Weekend Edition had the best summery on this issue that I have heard. You can hear on RealAudio at minute 2:30 -- http://search.npr.org/cf/cmn/cmnpd01fm.cfm?PrgDate=08/14/1999&PrglD=7 Motorola and the other major backers of Iridium have stated there continued support for the system. The July price cuts have spurred sales up in spite of the bad financial news. With the Y2K sales coming, Iridium could be the largest mobile satellite service by the end of the year.
