GM owned or still has an ownership interest in Hughes Electronics. Hughes manufactures and operates global communication satellites. For corporate "synergy", GM offers satellite communications in its various vehicles. In addition to operator assistance for navigation and emergency/accident response (medics are immediately notified of your location when an airbag is deployed), OnStar is now offering telecom-long distance service from your car; subscription is required. And of course OnStar is helpful for sales promotions too :o) -- J.Harris '01 9-3SE '97 900SE '88 9000T (R.I.P.) > Since we outside the US don't even have a clue what OnStar is (care to > educate us?) it's probably US only... > > X. >
