Blockstream Is Using Satellites to Beam Bitcoin Down to Earth!! The Next Wave of innovation is approaching!
"There is some coincidence between countries with poor Internet infrastructure and unstable currencies. The people who are in direct need of bitcoin are those who currently have unstable access to bitcoin. This project will address that problem, and, we hope, will allow many more people to use bitcoin."

Well if we had sat communications then why the cell towers? Anyone ever seen one?
Actually yes i have! At high altitude in Upstate NY. There are "Dark Zones" where there is very little light pollution. You can see orbiting satellites like clock work. Its truly amazing :)
