Forget the EMCOMM support, that does not make sense anymore. Read on...
WIMAX will be available from sprint soon. THAT will be a reliable
technology for ecom. With one access point, they will cover a wide
area for both data and voice. NOW, imagine multiple access point
( and I mean 2 or 3 max) and regardless of what the ecom situation
is, help will get through.
We have to understand here that P4 satcom for ecom is not a selling
point anymore.
