Awesome. ATT had phased out a ‘tunnel’ system I had wanted to buy. It also negated the need for cell towers.

I kept wondering why. But a satellite net makes a LOT of sense. Far more efficient than tower networks. My cell tower keeps malfunctioning multiple times a year. The maintenance cost must be pretty high. Lame signal too.

And a tunnel (ferentol? I forget the name) is a lot bulkier than a phone.

I’m in hill country and cell service is about useless here. With Starnet, everyone could have a sat phone that would work everywhere.
