| Because they can communicate over longer distances, satellite cellphones
may offer lower performance than other cellular phones. One effect could be
on handset size and weight. If a satellite cellphone was noticeably bigger
and heavier than your current cellphone - say the equivalent of going back
one generation to an older phone - how would that influence you?

| Satellites reach the end of their useful lives when they reenter
the earths atmosphere or their instruments fail. Many
satellites eventually fall out orbit and burn up as they reenter
the atmosphere. Others continue to orbit as space junk long
after their instruments have ceased working. Sometimes the
onboard rockets are purposely fired to slow a satellite and
cause it to reenter the earths atmosphere. |

you?

Bittner, Deborah.A.Bittner.1@gsfc.nasa.gov. NASA/GSFC plans to issue a
Request for Quote (RFQ) for Airtime for the support of satellite
telephones. This support will cover airtime for an unspecified number of
satellite telephones. Support will include: (1) complete coverage of the
United States, South America and Russia; (2) provide 24-hour technical
service to satellite telephones 7 days a week, 365 days a year
(accessible through the phones); (3) must be usable on any make satellite
phone; (4) no access fee -- only pay when using the airtime; (5) Flat
rate per minute -- no hidden charges; and (6) must have secured telephone
line capability. This procurement is being co. |
| As cellular networks spread over more of the world and phone companies do
deal
s with each other, you may be able to take your standard cellphone to more
places. Given the pricing preferences youve just expressed, how often you
would have to use a satellite cellphone to feel you got good use out of it?
