AT&T will launch a 3G cellphone that also connects to a new satellite phone network by the end of this year. Why this satellite phone will succeed where others have failed remains to be seen.

Good thing it doesn’t cover Mexico, or the drug cartels would have been their best customers (although who knows how much coverage will extend over the border?). When TerreStar launches a second satellite, TerreStar is hoping to interest the government in its service. There aren’t any plans to provide global coverage, which may limit its appeal.
