GlobalTel received from Globalstar L.P. equipment for three gateway stations, which in 1999-2000. installed near Moscow, Novosibirsk and Khabarovsk. The cost of these gateway stations, taking into account auxiliary equipment and services, amounted to $41 million. Until the return of this amount to GlobalTelom, Globalstar took all the equipment as collateral. However, GlobalTel never paid off the lender, and in 2002 Globalstar itself filed for bankruptcy, and part of its assets passed to Loral. The operator of the Globalstar global network in 2003 was the newly created structure in Globalstar Inc., the majority owner of which was Thermo Capital Partners.
