The satellite link bypasses the local cell phone infrastructure. The call goes from your phone to the satellite and then to the ground station for connection to the land lines. This reason to use the satellite link has been completely missed by us in our worries over whether there will be customers for satellite links in places where there is cell coverage.

Problem with using satellite telephone service as filling in when terrestial systems are too busy is that it requires a sat phone to be used. Sat phone does not work indoors, in cities, behind trees, in cars (unless car kit is installed), in metros, has low battery life, costs a lot, expensive to use, cumbersome, weighs a lot, and, worst of all, you look like an idiot using one. Apart from that it is great. - rajala
