Sprint Rolls out WiMAX Access
Tokin84 writes "Today, Sprint announced that it would pour over $4.5Bn into a 2.5Ghz WiMAX system to be rolled out across the country. From the article: 'Sprint Nextel, the nation's largest holder of radio spectrum in the precious 2.5 GHz band, has reportedly chosen to deploy Worldwide Interoperability of Microwave Access (WiMAX) as the foundation of its technology platform for the carrier's mobile broadband Next-Generation Network (NGN) build-out.'"
This Friday a number of vandals on Wikipedia, associated with Wikitruth, will begin a massive vandal empowerment campaign on Wikipedia. We have a user who has recently become a beaurocrat and will be giving admin privledges to vandals to allow them to delete and ban users in the largest campaign of Wikipedia vandalism ever seen before.
In order to participate you need to do the following:
1. Register an account on Wikipedia.
2. Repeatedly vandalize one of the 50 states pages (i.e. Virginia, Maryland, Alabama, etc).
Our bots will be harvesting names from these page histories and on Friday, August 11th, our beaurocrat will then give sysop to all those on the list.
VIVA LA REVOLUTION! SPREAD THE WORD!
Would there have been an internet without gov help ?
Do you believe the phone companies loved cannibalizing their own product ?
I love getting nickel and dimed by the jackal phone co's for web access.
