As you know, satellite phones are still a LOT more expensive than regular cell phones. So considering what the BMW assist will cost you on an annual basis after the initial service you get with the purchase of your car, just think of what a satellite based communication service would cost! I highly doubt that the majority of people that live and normally stay within cell coverage would go for the 'premium' service they would have to ask for!
