"The fact of the matter is that 95% of all wireless users (I am being very conservative) are in or near a major population center with no need EVER for satellite service. How many people do you think there are on oil rigs, ships or in Iowa cornfields anyway.".....Mr. Dave Baker

Does this statement make any sense?...The question is ...how many people would use wireless if it were available outside major population areas? How does one know "there is no need EVER for satellite service." I work for a company that requires our employees to travel all over the geographic area in a 100 mile radius..and they lose and drop calls all the time. they are frequently out of cell tower range...They would like nothing better then to be able to have uniform coverage with their cell phone...And I'm talking about Philadelphia, Pa.
There are many, many business men that frequently travel outside major population areas on business and would be delighted to have this service...The people who think that only city folk have the money or need for wireless phone service and that is where business is transacted are very very narrowly focused.
