Iridium, the satellite telephone system that allows journalists, explorers and military units to connect anywhere on Earth, was developed by a Motorola subsidiary in the 1990s using Reagan’s ‘Star Wars’ technology, but the initial corporation was bankrupted. John Bloom tells how Dan Colussy, a retired Pan-Am president, scrambled together a consortium to acquire the system and make it profitable, taking on the banks, politicians, and the military-industrial complex.
