Can you say Iridium Satellite Phones? Tons of money to launch and
place the system. Problem? The consumer phones were expensive as
was the month/per call charges were very high. Even a non-MBA
like myself could figure this out. :^)
As I've written this, I went to their site
http://www.iridium.com/ . Links to various providers like this:
http://www.gddecisionsystems.com/satelliteservices/ . Still
expensive. DoD provider and industrial applications (or people
with too much money). They only reason I know too much of this is
that Speedvision (used to be a cool channel) broadcast a bunch of
the Iridium satellite launches. The best was one that was
terminated a few seconds after launch. :^)
