Convergence of satellite and terrestrial telephony is certain to deepen as the technical hurdles of multi-standard handset development and infrastructure integration fall.()
The new global satellite communications systems will offer three kinds of service, which may overlap in many different kinds of receivers.
VOICE. Satellite telephones will be able to make calls from anywhere on the earth to anywhere else. That could make them especially useful to remote, third world villages (some of which already use stationary satellite telephones), explorers and disaster-relief teams.

TRACKING. Voice and messaging systems will
