Also, I think Cellphone basestation on a blimp would be a great idea. Would hugely improve coverage. With directional antenna could still be area specific.

       Greetings [hipparchus2000].   

       This idea should go down like a lead balloon! I suppose you could drift new ones in to cover more users at pig events.   

       Sorry, I meant big events

       Possibly if you were trying to get a cellular communications start-up -ahem- off the ground.

       What you really need is a blimp-like object with a lot of electrical power for re-broadcasting.   

       As defacto sales manager of Silent Vulcan (TM) Enterprises, easy payment terms. In theory you could have your own personal base station for about £50k..   

       or why not just go the whole ionocraft bit?
