CEO, PHONE HOMEIt's not Maxwell Smart's shoe phone, but it certainly could change our excuses for not keeping in touch with the home office. COMSAT Mobile Communications, a division of COMSAT Corp., recently introduced its Planet 1 personal satellite communications system. The 6-lb. device looks like a laptop computer. But open it, and a panel connects with an orbiting satellite to let you place and receive telephone calls from anywhere in the world. Fax, data, and paging services are also expected to be carried over the digital Planet 1 system. The $2,995 Planet 1 terminals will go on sale by midyear. Calls will cost about $3 per minute.
