How are local and long-distance telecommunications interconnect rules established with national providers, and how is interconnection carried out technically?
We plan to use satellite connections to go straight to the Internet, and in general not to engage in provision of voice telephone service. Therefore, local interconnect through conventional phone company switches is not needed. We are not in the telephony business and have no wish to compete in any way with the local PTT (the phone company). In fact, in many cases a close co-operation with the PTT will be needed to achieve our goals. Greenstar will consider cooperating with a local PTT that wishes to use our satellite bandwidth and solar electricity to provide telephony and postal services to remote areas.
