Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Satellite Communications
Summary
With the anticipated market for satellite phone service to soar to $32 billion by the year 2007, slowdown in the deployment of LEOs is not expected. The exploding population and global economy make it almost certain that wireless communications will continue at breakneck speed. The thought of taking your own phone number anywhere in the world and still being in touch is too alluring for companies not to continue to pour billions of dollars into this technology. You can virtually be found anytime, anywhere in the world. That is unless you hit the "Power Off" button.
