    I have no idea what you would use this for, but it's totally cool. You could couple it with the APRS to DTMF circuit:

    http://www.aprs.org/aprs-dtmf-gate.html

    And use an APRS radio to send a message to the gateway, have DTMF transmitted to this servo controller and cause it to move. I could have access to moving a servo horn from most all areas of the western USA via VHF radio network without depending upon internet or telephones. You could feed a dog dish, fish tank food, turn your living room lights on by simply using the actual light switch with no house modifications, change a channel on the TV, flush a toilet, Ah! turn on your laptop because you need remote access to the HD for that file you forgot.
