    This spurious story emanates from ENN, who supply the Irish stories to The Register. Somebody getting ahead of himself and a reporter overwhelmed in his/her critical faculties by claims like
    The company also has a relationship with 73 engineers based in a Chinese factory.
    I'd say TGT are sellers of phone cards, and that's about it.

    P.

    I can't see anything to do with Satellite costing only €10 unless it is a broadcast only multicast data (One of those is free).

    Some how I'm not surprised. I thought it sounded great until I read it would use satellite. Then I knew it was an unlikely to be a success. :(

    That ENN/Reg piece looks like it was lifted driectly from a Press Release (no surprise there ENN). There's a serious smell of bullshít from that PR too.
    The company also has a relationship with 73 engineers based in a Chinese factory.
    Thats the best line I've ever read. Wtf does a "relationship" with 73 engineers in a Chinese factory mean? Did he send the engineering department of a chinese factory a Christmas card just so he could say the company had a "relationship" with them.

    Utter shíte if I've ever read it...

    Irelandoffline has a relationship with ComReg too :)

    Doesn't mean it's a good thing though.

    I believe BTIreland and smart have a relationship with eircom about LLU as well :p

    Just shows you what marketing people can do when they have a sloppy journalist who is too lazy to find out the real story and instead files press releases as news. I mean just look at the claims Eircom get away with :D

    Thats why I christened that same website /dev/bull some years back.

    While the /dev/bull drivel is pretty typical I am seriously pissed off with the Reg about their reprinting this bull**** without checking it :(

    Its a callback system, basically.

    TGT are looking for the Irish Agency for Thuraya I'll wager :p

    Uniquely for a SAT Phone provider Thuraya do not charge for incoming calls and have a prepaid card system on the shelf .

    Therefore they could be used for a callback system.

    Maybe the system will work on the new high power Inmarsat BGAN systems instead ??

    Indeed. Seems like /dev/bull have not remembered Gamebank because they were the ones who pimped that particular scheme of Garys as well .

    Gamebank in 2001 per /dev/bull
    Currently manufacturing is underway in Korea

    Sat Callback in 2006 /dev/bull
    The company also has a relationship with 73 engineers based in a Chinese factory

    Sponge Bobs 'Tidal BB' scam in 2008 (per /dev/bull )
    The CPE is currently swimming across the Atlantic from Panama

    shame about the logistics chain , its ALWAYS a shame about the logistics chain .....until the next time ! What did he do in between Gamebank/Genesis Europe 5 odd years back and this Sat Phone Callback scheme ??? Its been a while :p even /dev/bull forgot him !
