Veiko, the 200 Mile off shore coverage limit is an artifact of treaties and/or contracts between G* and the SPs. It means that within that range, regulatory and service rights vest with the country and the country's designated SP, respectively. Outside that range, G* will still often work (depending on distance to the nearest gateway), but the SP will change. In the N. Atlantic to Martel, in the Caribbean (I think) to GUSA, and in most of the rest of the world's deep water to Globe Wireless. Hopefully, this will be transparent to the user, except that roaming charges will presumably apply once they're outside the 200mile limit of their home SP. By the way, the "200 mile rule" results in some interesting geometry when there are a lot of small countries with convoluted borders. On the G (Central) Americas web site is a detailed map of how this rule works there.
