I'm in Ottawa for the next four months as I need to finish up university.
Leo is available so I've stopped research until I my next trip (not the one to Panama I'm planning this spring) as I can't afford one right now. It looks like all of the infrastructure and equipment is in place. All I'd need to do is find somebody to lease or sell the equipment/service to me for a year or two if I was going RTW. It is meant to be inexpensive in design since it is intended to be sold to companies that own hundreds of trucks. The old cellular system is being dropped because the equipment was making phone calls atleast 4 times a day if not every time the truck unhooked, opened, started, SPEEDING, etc.  Anybody could sent messages with them now as they are designed to work with PDAs and laptops but sending regular data or installing a panic button would not require a computer.
The blackberry is supposed to be leo from what I understand but I haven't met anybody who owns one.
