Would that be like VOIP? why does that satellite navigate and give you contactability? I understand that gps uses sats to nav, and dsl internet uses sats for net. Just didn't understand there being 2 diff types of sats in sky. Was hoping that maybe some of the sats in sky had gps function (as well as data transmit).
Edit: Maybe cause my tp doesn't have a digital gps radio.

DSL does not use satellites. They have base stations and wire running on land. On star uses gps to locate you and a cellphone protocol to talk. also, theres a hell of a lot more varieties of satellites than 2.
