Gotta love that name SeaMobile. Not only does the corporate name reflect their Seattle base (which in turn gets it name from Chief Seattle, not the sea) nd the fact that SeaMobile is now enhancng its StayConnected brand ships-to-sea communications services.

SeaMobile made that step forward this week when they bought Miramar, Fla.-based Maritime Communications Network. MTM is a provider of satellite-based broadband communications and networking for the maritime industry.

"SeaMobile saw a strategic opportunity to combine the wireless and satellite expertise of the world's leading maritime communications companies to completely change the way travelers communicate at sea," said William Marks, CEO of Seattle-based SeaMobile, in a statement. " Cruise travelers can take their own cell phones, BlackBerry devices and laptops, read their hometown newspaper, watch live TV, access bank accounts through onboard ATMs and much more."
