It's the satellite phone that's the cool bit. I've sort of lusted after one since I read the Stephenson article in Wired about the guys who lay cable. If I decide to become a first responder support person as an avocation, I'm likely to just get one for when cell phones are no good. They're a bit pricey for TMOTS, being around $2K the last time I checked.
