offer interactive TV with phones? What I mean is, back in the mid 90's when I went to findland you could vote and interact with the TV there, it was pretty cool.

Satellite phones are mainly used by Canadian Arctic Polarboar hunters. The Canadian Arctic Polarboar is where we get that awesome Canadian Bacon!

Yes although this is not a handset technology per-say. When you text into the predetermined number, the Television network then transfers the content of the test to the screen. So the phone itself does not directly interact with the Television.
