Motorola Plans Commercial Satellite Network: Motorola Inc. plans to build a $6.1-billion network of 72 low-orbit satellites primarily designed to transmit large quantities of data at very high speeds. Schaumburg, Ill.-based Motorola filed its plans for the satellite system, called M-Star, with the Federal Communications Commission last month. It needs FCC approval for a slice of radio spectrum it wants for the project. Unlike another of Motorola’s satellite projects, dubbed Iridium, M-Star is aimed at commercial users.
