Im doing this article for a couple reasons. First off I have ATT and ive been a loyal customer for years. However recently in the past year I've had nothing but horrible service everywhere. Its interesting to see ATT takin the next step doing satellite phones. Other companies have tried this attempt with no success. The problem is this phone costs 799 dollars and its very expensive to use. Its also a outside phone because it must be in direct view of the satelllite meaning not very convenient for most users. However a great market for people who work outdoors or go exploring out in the wilderness who need coverage all around. Even though it is only limited to the U.S. this is a interesting topic only because its just showing how our world is shrinking even more. Privacy of the people is a big issue and I believe this satellite phone is not necessary the best thing considering who you are. But our society is changing and are we ready for it?
