Re: 3G mobiley comms thingy
I'm currently playing with an Inmarsat BGAN satellite broadband terminal that's basically a 3G phone with a highly customised radio transmitter. Gives you about 500kBit/sec from anywhere in Europe/Middle-East/Asia as long as you can see the right bit of sky.

Data is ~10$/Mbyte, which means by the time you've flattened the battery, your bill is about £7k.

Before anyone asks, at those prices, no, I'm not using it to post this message!
