You can still
And Iridium would do this without building a single cell tower.

- Iridium spent $5 billion, which was raised from a combination of debt, including Motorola to

- Sixty-six satellites into low-earth-orbits
were launched.

1 -Time to market
It took Iridium 11 years to go from Concept to Launch.
![Page 17: The Iridium’s Experience](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070605/577ccf0d1a28ab9e788ec207/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

- Innovation in mobile phones moved at blinding speed.
- By the time Iridium launched, there were far fewer places on the planet where cell phone service was unavailable.

In the eleven years since they had been at work, Iridium’s potential market had shrunk nearly
every day.
But Iridium’s business model assumptions were fixed like it was still 1990.

2- Lack of Market Research
- Bulky design - won't fit into an average pocket
- “It Weighted like a brick”
- Very Expensive = $3000
- Price per minute = $7
![Page 20: The Iridium’s Experience](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070605/577ccf0d1a28ab9e788ec207/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

By the time Iridium launched:- Prices for local and international cell service
declined dramatically
- Companies such AT&T offered phone packages that included unlimited minutes and no roaming
fees.

Cost of service didn’t meet the demand of the market.

3 -Technological flaws
Iridium’s cell phone couldn’t make calls from cars, offices or other buildings.
Phones had to be used outdoors with a line-of-sight connection to the satellites.

Open line of sight connection
![Page 24: The Iridium’s Experience](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070605/577ccf0d1a28ab9e788ec207/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
24
Realized the technological flaws and did nothing to improve it before launch.
Failed to consider the problem of inconvenient big size of handsets.

4- Manufacture
Manufacturers were several month late in delivering equipment.
This lead to a lot of customers switched to available options from competitors.
