The 50 miles will be covered in most places by combination of cellular and G* with multimode handsets so this is not a big problem. Look for G* coverage outside of 200 mile that might be the initial limitation until more gateways are deployed or gateway technology advances. Still, check the proposed capabilities by Martel EHF, the G* service provider for the N-Atlantic. www.martel.is This is a combined service from 2 gateways that I believe exceeds slightly the 1500 mile limit. Maybe this can be done because of clear line of sight on the ocean and more output power from vehicle mounted units with external antenna. With lower cost equipment and digital CDMA service it looks to me that G* will become a great competitor to Inmarsat for maritime services and certainly will not give an inch away to Iridium on this front. Sorry, I do not have any coverage for Alaska. Thomas
