How often do you *want* them to be able to reach you?  Being on call at all
times, everywhere, gets tiresome very quickly unless you have a real need
for it.  Yes, there are occasions when it's desirable; my point is that
those are rare enough for most people that they won't sell a product.

This is the (small) market where existing cellular phones are selling well.
