Iridium rises again - as an alternative to GPS

Iridium communications, a reboot of the original Motorola operation, is offering satellite based time and locations services as a backup to the GPS system. This is encouraging because there are already known ways to spoof GPS, which might be just annoying in some circumstances but could be life-threatening in others. I guess all those Iridium satellites eventually had to be useful for something. This looks like a good application.
