Your sophisticated, encrypted, hidden communications system is worthless if the people you want to communicate with doesn't also have it. In which case, it's probably on the government's radar and they can track it. Rinse. Repeat.
The expense to house, maintain an UPS system for the many many hundreds of cell phone towers in any given city would be cost-prohibitive. Not to mention the fact that the city is under 20 feet of water. That water will of course short out any equipment no matter how fault-tolerant.
There's just no way you could offer affordable cellular service with this level of infrastructure required to build out.
However, your assertion that OSX has fewer viruses, spyware, and malware because it's somehow magically better is utter BS. It has less of these items because its market share is lower and for no other reason. I can assure you that if Apple's market share were to approach 50% it would have just as many viruses, because it would it become a profitable venture. And profits are what these bastards seek now. Virii are no longer the domain of script-kiddies, but organized criminals and the mafia.
This can solve some problems associated with standard GPS. Namely, that satellite-based GPS systems fail when structures block line-of-sight to the satellites in the sky. This can include things like tall buildings in urban areas, or underground parking garages, etc. Since WPS is purely terrestrial, it can overcome many of these problems. Of course, satellite-based GPS is still preferable if you don't have these issues.

Is that some measure of your ability to play Everquest?
Yes, I'm a nerd.
SCO?
No, but you can have QEMM. You know, so you can break the 640k memory barrier.
You don't know how right you are. If I had mod points I would mod you up. But then someone else would probably just mod it down.

Hehehe. You said butt sets
I'll agree that MS is largely a hegemony.
