You do realize that GPS is just a fucking tone, right?

bensa said:

A GPS receiver only calculates the difference in tone and time between 3 or more satellites. The GPS satellites only kick out tone. Nothing else.

You can't teach stupid. The bandwidth for all the cell phones (data and voice) would need thousands of satellites.

silly humans and their primitive technology.

Not thousands of satellites, you just need bigger pipes. You could technically have a few satellites in geosync orbit, but the antenna on your cell phone and power needed for such communication would be big. Enjoy your 3 minutes talk/10min idle cell phone talk time.

But hey what do I know I'm a kirby~! That's now looking up old Oscillators for nefarious purposes.

don't they already have satellite internet? certainly cell phones could pick up a signal like that.

Then you run into major power issues. Bandwidth isn't free. I'm sure there is a solution (like an improved spread spectrum), why don't you get a PHD in EE and invent it?

REally? Is there any room left for more satellites since there are already a few billion required for Satellite TV, Satellite Radio and.... um... yeah, Satellite Phones?

Prolly may become an EE, it's the only field of science that interests me. Radio stuff and the manipulation of radio waves imo is such an exciting science. Really, look at your cell phone; and be fucking amazed how it communicates on a spectrum of frequiences that carry your voice/data/message/communication/packets over the fucking world.

The way it used to be in the 1900's, 1950's is long gone. It's fucking 2010 and one person can communicate with the whole world in a matter of fucking seconds.

Theres tons of space, and most satellites share their bandwidth. There was this badass PDf I found which explained alot of the sats in space that share with companies because they were so fucking expensive to build and launch up there.

nah, a cell to cell phone call half way around the world spends probably less than a mile total going over cell towers.

I was including from your mobile station (cell phone) to tower, to central office, where it's routed off to the co/tower of the destination phone to then the person you wish to speak.
