I can't see this working, as service will be far to expensive, even for most of those who live in urban areas.

Otherwise, if a nationwide satellite phone service could be established that used the satellite network and the terrestrial network for 99% coverage (and the price was about the same same, or only $10-$20 more, per month), it could work....but,like I said, that's not going to happen.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19167235 Sat, 29 Sep 2007 15:37:03 EDT
