Hope they figure out all the other expenses before the actually spend the money to buy the satellite. Tie in to existing internet infrastructure... providing a method for the people to connect to it... price to move the satellite.. is it possible to move it if they don't get those pieces in place first they'll wind up owning a big hunk of metal floating in space that they can't ever afford to use. Honestly, this seems like the most likely out come to me (assuming they can raise enough money to buy the satellite).

If they FULLY win this suit... by which I mean apple has to RELEASE their phones unlocked that would mean that the large sum of money that (I'm sure) was paid to Apple to have the phone only be on their network in the first place would have been a waste...

would they owe that money back to AT&T? or is it just lost money since it's not "Apple's Fault"...

also after seeing this trial would any other company ever waste money paying to make a phone 'only available on their network'?

just some hypothetical questions...

oh... and... what if their were no hypothetical questions?
