  Flawed argument. The cabs are almost certainly not using their own satellites. Rather, they are using GPS (a network of 24 satellites launched by the US) which is available free to anyone.
  
  The satellites used to lcoated bush fires might also probably from other news networks etc. Its not suprigins that a news / meteorological service can get images of forest fires since undoubtedly many parties are interested in the forest fires as well.

  -.-;
  
  It was not meant to be an arguement. So chill.
  
  If we can use them now, why can't we use them for military purpose? If we can mount GPS tracking system on our comfort cabs, we can also do the same for our vehicles. If we can use satellites to track forest fire, we can also use them to track other stuff.
  
  Singtel itself has communications satellites. Communications satellites are worth more their weight in GOLD in military applications.
