How u think ur comfort cab gets to u so fast, nice nice will only locate all the cabs 5-10 mins away...
If we can have this kinda Satellite cabbing service, what makes u think we don't have it for our military? diaozzz..
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.
