Globalstar Gets Approval For Terrestrial Service
Seems a dual mode phone would make more sense
Have a deal with a current cell provider to roam when no satellite signal is available.
yea thats also good.
to have dual mode phones are very good, but there needs to be more coverage and cellular coverage in doors and in many places are hurting. perhaps satelite can help.

I kinda like Thuraya's (Europe, Africa, Asia) model better. Thuraya uses GSM and switches to satellite when GSM isn't available. If you're outside of Thuraya's coverage area, like in the western hemisphere, you can roam on another carrier's GSM netw...

very interesting
I actually like this stuff because it is interesting for more kinds of technologies to come here domestically. Obviously, coverage in doors and in some areas are sub-par so perhaps they can team up with the cellular companies to improve on those problems. To invest billions of dollars to try to go into this USA market I think is a bad idea especially when the penetration rate is so high at 75%. Seems to be interesting..
What does everyone think?

I think this is the next step for cell phones and will be the standard in 10-15 years max. A combination of satelite/cell technology..satelite when unable to achieve cell signal, cellular the rest of the time. True global phones.
