Good. Whatever the economic consequences, it strikes me as foolish to give the Chinese this kind of access and control over satellite communications.

This is really a relief. I had serious misgivings about the Chinese getting any kind of access to this. I was surprised there was not some kind of prohibition on it.

"Good. Whatever the economic consequences, it strikes me as foolish to give the Chinese this kind of access and control over satellite communications. "

When I think of our massive budgets for CIA, NSA, DIA, FBI, etc.
and then to allow a 'global' transfer of technology and power to China with Global Crossing...its just mindless.

The Spratleys,
The P3 Orion in 2001,
The internet attacks launched from China.
Operating at both ends of the Panama Canal (remember that?)
And now Global Crossing???

We deserve what we get if we let this go through.

over satellite communications

Fiber ('terrestrial, land-based circuits') or satellite communications - which was Global Crossing heavy into?
