Google could be working on an emergency SOS service called Pixel Satellite SOS, but it won’t be free forever. Would you pay for it?

    In the PNW where lots of people spend time out in the mountains or desert miles away from anything and any service, normalizing satellite communication into regular smartphones would be excellent in an emergency. I know they have special satellite phones now but the costs are insanely expensive.
