Canada Is Key To The New Iridium
Iridium, everyones favorite wireless flop, is slowly but surely rising from the ashes. Instead of going after global travelers, which are more likely to turn to GSM networks, the new Iridium is targetting workers in remote locations. And apparently Canada has a lot of workers in mining, forestry and the military who aren't serviced by existing wired or wireless networks. In fact CEO Gino Picasso believes Canada maybe Iridium's best market on a per-capita basis.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
