On the assumption there are people on the conference concerned
with telecommunications and space, I would like to solicit some
views, especially from European readers.  The World Administrative
Radio Conference (WARC) provided a variety of allocations for new
services.  I am especially interested in LEOs, and the set
asides for their operation.  The U.S. delegation to WARC came
home claiming victory; it had obtained what was wanted for
Motorola's IRIDIUM and others like it.  The European post-
WARC view was that the U.S. should not be so sure of itself;
one delegate was quoted as saying, "the devil is in the details."
The "details," in this case, were the many footnotes and 
reservations not seen by all when the Final Acts were signed
in a frenzy of late night activity.  I know it is difficult to
make predictions, especially about the future, but I'd be
interested in informed views of how things are going to
shape up, especially in light of European displeasure with
the results the U.S. thinks it obtained.  If you'd care
to answer via e-mail, many thanks and I'm Bert Cowlan,
Public Service Telecommunications Corporation, a nonprofit
thinktank.  Address <pstc>.
