About the Doppler effect: it is because
the sat moves that the distinction north/south had been made. The sat speed varies something between 200 and 300 kph along its tinny orbit. See these excellent posts:

About the cellphones "not pinging": the question was in air (!) many posts ago and somebody told that a search about those of the crew had been made and nothing had been found. Unfortunatly, I think these ones have the most chance to be off and I doubt the ones of the pax were also searched: anything credible about this?
Is there anything in Inmarsat and/or AAIB which implies the a/c was west of Malacca Strait at one time? Or we will be said later MH370 flew straight above Indonesia?
