Re: Swiss Cheese

Thanks for providing that update. As someone whose main experience with cellphones is having to share the road with folks constantly yakking on them while not paying attention to how they're driving or sharing their conversation with the rest of a restaurant that's trying to enjoy a meal in peace, I still have to question how popular satphones are going to be given their line-of-sight requirements. This means, as I understand it, that you can only reliably get a signal if you're outdoors and away from buildings or other objects that would block the phone's ability to "see" a satellite. Is this no longer true? If not, then are folks really going to want to "step out" for a call?
