In doing this, GLOBAL supports its In-Country Partners and their end users to become the best, most profitable businesses of their kind in their area.

The typical revenue from each network is US$800.00 to $1000.00 per month In Guatemala, the situation is very similar. GLOBAL's solution is a satellite based communication network tied directly to one of the world's largest Internet backbones A group of communications networks managed by several commercial companies that provide the major high-speed links across the country. ISPs are either connected directly to these backbones or to a larger regional ISP that is connected to one. . GLOBAL has engaged companies, which have been building satellite-based telecommunication infrastructure and are responsible for a high percentage of such systems in place today. The effective deployment of GLOBAL's plan will result in a cost effective telecommunication network that enables the provision of reliable telecommunication connectivity, including Internet, throughout the target markets. GLOBAL has started this undertaking and has proven that the GLOBAL network is a viable, superior alternative. The economics of the business model have also been tested and its strong profitability has been confirmed. The development of the GLOBAL network will be carried out in three stages: 1) Stage One: is underway and includes building the network out to include: a) Signing In-Country Partners in the two priority countries, Mexico and Guatemala (Nicaragua under negotiation). b) Detailed assessment of market potential and prioritization of additional market targets. Attainment of sustained positive cash flow and financial self-sufficiency. 2) Stage Two: Consummation CONSUMMATION.

Sign contracts with In-Country Partners in additional prospective Latin American target markets as well as establishing leasing facility offering for network customers. 3) Stage Three: Expansion of roll out to other geographic areas, most likely to start in Asia where discussions are currently underway. GLOBAL'S market approach is to enter into strategic alliances with supplier companies that are able to provide all the expertise in the field and also cutting edge technology that will provide GLOBAL Partners with up to date equipment. GLOBAL is positioning itself in a niche to integrate satellite technologies with Internet technologies. There is a growing number of companies that provide internet access See how to access the Internet. via satellite connectivity, but none of these are focusing on the market areas that GLOBAL is targeting, nor are they providing the overall package of services that represents the GLOBAL program, resulting in long term user relationships. From a cost of service viewpoint, none of the alternatives are providing a service that is end user cost competitive with terrestrial systems. GLOBAL's vertically integrated service offering provides more features, superior performance and a more accessible price structure than competitive services do on a stand-alone basis. GLOBAL considers it advantageous to concentrate initially in the Latin American markets where it has comprehensive experience, long-term relationships and a detailed understanding of the challenges evident to gain a substantial subscriber base, in a short time frame. GLOBAL satellite coverage currently extends from northern North America North America, third largest continent (1990 est. pop. 365,000,000), c.9,400,000 sq mi (24,346,000 sq km), the northern of the two continents of the Western Hemisphere. to the southern tip of South America South America, fourth largest continent (1991 est. pop. 299,150,000), c.6,880,000 sq mi (17,819,000 sq km), the southern of the two continents of the Western Hemisphere. . With the addition of earth stations on the East Coast of North America and in Europe, GLOBAL is capable of delivering Internet via satellite to anywhere in the World. GLOBAL's expertise in wireless technologies, positions itself to become a major operator of wireless networks and a leader in the wireless revolution, which is upon us.
