It reads like a fair review to me.

If it isn't already a requirement, I'd suggest pushing the FCC to require SPOT to forward SOS calls to the appropriate authorities with or without subscription, just as they do with cell phones. If they're marketing this thing as a life saver - and they are - the life saving part shouldn't be turned off just because they didn't pay their bill.

My personal 2 cents on spot is that to make it useful, they need to make it capable of 2 way text. People would love that, especially the younger folks.
