Well, it’s not quite what they’re telling you. It’s NOT a single satellite covering the nation. Rather, what’s done is: You call up the paging company. It then signals transmitters in the top 100 cities to send out your capcode. Shortly afterwards you get the message. Note that you are -not- receiving a satellite transmission.
