Okay Bob... that was a reactionary comment on my part....

My experience with sat phones is from their inception to current day. I have
used many sat phone communications. I have arranged for sat phone video
uplink to NYC investors on a rather viable source in the Arctic. Most of my
company vehicles have had Sat Phone and GPS technology installed years
before you were ever aware it could be done. The only other person on this
group with similar experience would be Peter Wiley.

It is a prohibitive expense to date... utilized by government agencies and
businesses that require it's range for remote operation. Vessels crossing
oceans generally lease the equipment and service.
It is not a replacement for cellular service..... not yet.

You frickin idiot... you have cell phone coverage that is ten times as
reliable as a Sat Phone!!!

How stupid are you Bob?


Wrong, wrong, wrong. The Sat phone ALWAYS works here. ALWAYS. The cell
does
not.
I like your dumb comments that are clearly based on zero experience with
the
technology. I've actually had a Sat phone. Have you?
