MCI's SkyTel Launches Vehicle-Tracking Device for Parents of Teen Drivers

SkyTel, a division of MCI, introduced a vehicle-tracking GPS device made especially for parents of teenage drivers. The SkyGuard service allows parents to view trip information on the Web and see where a vehicle has traveled. In addition, parents can set up zones around areas of interest (like school or home) and areas that should be avoided. SkyGuard can also be used to remotely unlock or lock doors and disable a vehicle's starter, preventing the vehicle from restarting once it has been turned off. Service is available in most U.S. metro markets.
