Thuraya Profits From Satphone Stampede This year's war on terrorism has proved to be a good thing for the Thuraya satphone, with everyone from journalists to warlords buying the phones in Afghanistan. Savanna International Telecommunication, which is selling the phones and service, says it isn't asking any questions; rather, it is just taking in the money. During the past five days, the carrier says it has sold more than 120 sets, and people continue to stand in line for the $700 handsets. Savanna says its phones can't be monitored, but others are skeptical of this claim. Reported by The Gulf News. http://www.offshoretele.com/product/hss.htm
