  Yeh Right!

  All you have to do is go out into the snowstorm to get a line of sight to the bird.
  Sure. Same thing that was wrong with the original concept.

  Here's one for the maketing failures file

  Did they do any research on where the population
  is located?
  
  We've got 3 very strong cellular companies on
  3 differant technologies. If a sat-phone is
  dependant on us, they're not going to go very
  far. A 4watt Motorola on the MicroCell GSM system
  can easily maintain a usable signal when you're
  15km from the nearest tower.

    Did you read the article? First sentence:
    "Canadians in remote locations..."
    Yes, a good majority of people are located within 15 km of a tower, and companies are slowly branching out, but there is A LOT of area in Canada not covered by a cell phone tower, and people do live in those spaces. The article doesn't give a lot of detail (unfortunately), but there are places it could be used.
