Sat data coverage is for Europe, N & central Africa, and Asia, ....... for north and south america and adjacent atlantic/pacific not so much according to their map , ( http://www.thuraya.com/network-coverage ) .
However this is very very exciting news and bodes well for the future of consumer marine Sat data, Hooray!
Quite interesting. Any information on the cost of the product and the cost using the service?
