[MCR] Pond Inlet, Nunavut communications info

Forgot to mention that Pond Inlet got cell phone service as of a couple months ago.  We tested it successfully from the southern shore of Bylot Island / Sirmilik National Park.  The provider is Bell, and my Telus iPhone 4 did not work on their sytem, so it's worth looking into compatibility before you head up there.  I successfully used a SPOT messenger, Globalstar and Iridium satellite phones, as well as GPS.  Lots of communication methods available, giving the false impression that it is not a remote part of the world!
