I would think after the recent string of earthquakes, every disaster team and local government would buy a few hundred of these to keep on hand to get aid and help in times like these. Multiply that by the number of towns around and the number gets quite large fast. Then all that need to happen is for the G* guys to make sure they are ready for any pending disaster, both by redundant systems and by emeregency preparedness to insure that almost anywhere in the world, someone can make a call at all times. In Tiawan, even the cellphone system went away. Imagine if the chip making corporations over there had these G* phones. they could stay in touch wiht home office, asses damage quickly, and make contingent plans within 24 hours. As it was, it took them more than 24 hours just to make the first call out. How many remote offices of companies would benefit from this?
