As an almost total aside, I got my Globalstar GSP-1600 satellite phone today.
This is the same phone handset used by controlvision for their weather data
delivery, though I did not buy it through controlvision and I do not intend
to use the controlvision software. I bought this thing for a (very) remote
data delivery project at work. I have not yet used the thing, but I will pass
along the pirep when I have.

The big limitation seems to be that the antenna has to be perfectly vertical,
with a clear view of the sky. It does not work inside a house, or in a car.
Presumably it could be used in an airplane if the phone were on the
glareshield.
