 PROFILE
Somewhere over the rainbow a constellation of satellites may make Teledesic's dreams of an Internet-in-the-sky come true. The project has all-star support, led by Craig McCaw and boyhood friend Bill Gates, investors include Saudi Arabia's Prince al-Waleed bin Talal, Boeing, and Motorola. Founded in 1990, Teledesic plans to compete with terrestrial fiber-optic networks offering services such as broadband Internet access, computer networking, interactive multimedia, and voice transmissions. Plans to combine Teledesic with another satellite venture, New ICO (the former ICO Global Communications), which McCaw controls, has been postponed pending regulatory issues. Teledesic is predicted to begin services in 2005.
