The carrier is apparently will go live with an extension of service that will involve satellites, giving its premium customers an ability to roam between its very own GSM network and TerreStar’s satellite network. If everything goes as planned, AT&T will be resell satellite phones soon and the new network will provide coverage across Canada and the US, including the US Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.
