You can't fault Iridium's results for the last six quarters. Profits - and growing.

Iridium have transformed Motorola's white elephant satellites into a profitable system specialised for transport and disaster communications. What a difference eight years makes.

I am wondering whether QAD is the only entry Joe Blows anywhere in the world have to holding shares in the Iridium system. The other owners are a handful of private companies. Is this right?
