Rating: NNNNN
When obstructive governments or all-out war keeps reporters from lugging heavy satellite dishes into areas where news is breaking, this suitcase-sized videophone is as good as it gets.
The Talking Head has become a staple of news reports from Afghanistan because of the satellite videophone’s sheer portability.
Not surprisingly, the only manufacturer, Britain’s 7E Communications, has been swamped with orders.
