The adverts are a little lackluster so far. We might come up with some better ideas here. To highlight what a historical breakthrough this G* system is, why not a balloon reading "Watson, come here, I need you!" (or whatever the first uttered telephonic words were) coming from two different places on the planet, via a satellite beam? (I'm keeping my day job)

And the momentum keeps building---->picked this up off Yahoo! Globalstar Canada awarded National Master Standing OfferCanadian government departments and agencies get go ahead to purchase Globalstar satellite phones and services MISSISSAUGA, ON, Sep 27, 2000 (CNW via COMTEX) -- Globalstar Canada, a satellite-based telecommunications system, today announced that it has been awarded a National Master Standing Offer (NMSO) by Public Works and Government Services Canada. As of today, various Canadian Government departments and agencies can purchase Globalstar mobile satellite handsets for the support of government satellite and telecommunications services. "This is a significant agreement for Globalstar Canada and we are pleased to have the opportunity to provide Canadian Government departments with satellite phone services," said Peter White, general manager of Globalstar Canada. "With Globalstar satellite phones, federal government employees will now have the power to communicate virtually anywhere, anytime." Globalstar's mobile satellite phone has already become an indispensable business tool for Canadian resource industries such as oil & gas, mining, forestry, and fisheries and Globalstar Canada anticipates that the same will be true for the various government departments and agencies. The compact, light-weight feature make the Globalstar phone an ideal communications solution for lodge owners, hikers, hunters and fishers and anyone else in the leisure and outdoor industry. Because of its reliable service, the satellite phone is being used by emergency response officials such as firefighters, police officers and search and rescue personnel serving remote communities. With the Globalstar Canada National Master Standing Offer in place, the government departments and agencies that need the Globalstar satellite service can now deal directly with Globalstar Canada authorized dealers. The NMSO is a convenient method of supply that saves the Canadian government time and money. Purchase orders will now have a faster processing time because the paper work is reduced and prices and terms have been settled in advance, avoiding further negotiation. From the taxpayers' point of view, the advantages are lower administrative costs and less need for government departments to carry inventory. Globalstar Canada Service Globalstar service is designed to supplement cellular service, not replace it. While cellular use is growing in reach every year, 90 per cent of Canada's territory is still without comprehensive wireless coverage. Globalstar can fill in the gaps where cellular does not exist or is "sketchy," and allows communications access for those individuals regularly outside coverage areas or who travel to places where phone service is not readily available.
