[MCR] Pond Inlet, Nunavut communications info

[Public Mountain Conditions Report]

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!
