| Abstract: | Hundreds of launches in the next few years will open a new Klondike for the few that prevail. Across the globe dozens of corporations, large and small, are pouring roughly $50 billion into an exploding race to build, launch, and connect seamless satellite networks. As their plans gather steam, Motorola and its rivals are fueling a high-stakes, space-age equivalent of America's 19th century Gold Rush. All in all more than a dozen projects aim to blanket the skies with satellites that could completely transform the way that telephone calls, broadcast signals, and data will dart around the world. |
