They DO offer better service!
I am using a new version of "sky bits", which is like a qualcomm except its installed in my trailer roof, and I am tracked that way. All of my messages/info is sent via a Blackberry and only costs me $10/mo. Its new, you all will be seing it soon.
United has been using Qualcomm for the last 12 years, hoping it would get better. IT HASN'T. They are implementing the new system so that we can (soon) printout our bills of lading in the cab with a printer, and be able to send/recieve data like a scan of logs or recieving emails and scanned images.
