A normal update does require you to unlock the phone to accept the update. They're talking about leveraging recovery mode which can be used to force load an image onto a phone that might be otherwise unusable. See here - https://support.apple.com/en-u...
If it was struck by a meteor how would the aircraft be able to send maintenance messages minutes apart ? This is the part that makes the scenario unlikely to me.
Telcordia NEBS also sets specifications for disaster reliability - Being able to sustain operation during / after a disaster (Namely an earthquake). All racks have to be steel and have to be tied together with steel aux bar. There are pictures of a verizon CO in a building next the the WTC towers that show a row of racks leaning to the side next to a missing outside wall. The equipment was still operational.
While You're right about T1s (Or to be more correct with the current terminology DS1s)being able to be delivered via copper or fiber you are wrong about dsl having guaranteed bandwidth. The DSLAM that a dsl loop terminates on is oversubscribed just like a cmts in the cable world or a dial up shelf in the dial up world. With a real DS1 you have 1.5 MB/s all the way to the internet backbone so that if everyone were to max out their circuit at the same time you would still have 100% of your bandwidth available. IE if your DS1 is being muxed onto a DS3 by the carrier there would be a maximum of 30 DS1s on that circuit.
:The NTSC video standard has 525 lines.:The PAL and SECAM video standards have 625 lines.:So where does 480 linrd come from?
The specification is for 525 lines but there are only 480 lines of picture informtation - The other 45 are blank lines that were designed to let the electron gun get back to the top of the screen to begin drawing the next frame.

They almost certainly harvest all kinds of information about their users to help subsidize the low price of service.

Here you go. It came up about 2 years ago now - http://healthland.time.com/2011/06/30/did-airport-scanners-give-boston-tsa-agents-cancer/
How would a striker fired pistol get it's non-existent trigger snagged ?
The shuttle actually still flies hourly today (although with the same security theater and other hassles) but it now operated by US Airways - http://www.usairways.com/en-US/traveltools/intheair/shuttleinfo.html

So a peering disagreement somehow constitutes "blocking all streaming video" ? Enough said.
Do you have some citation to back up the assertion that Comcast has tried to block off streaming video ? I don't remember ever hearing this.
Or maybe the problem is on Netflix's end ? Your ISP can't guarantee the quality across the internet that's out of their control.
Mr. Potato Head, Mr. Potato Head ! Backdoors are NOT secrets !
This is absolutely false ! The "security clerks" at the airport with a fake badge cannot take you anywhere.
Exactly right. This sounds exactly like Northwest 255 years ago on the same type of MD-80 where the take off warning system failed to alarm when flaps were not extended - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northwest_Airlines_Flight_255
The biggest problem I see is that the service providers are requiring a data plan on all capable phones whether you want it or not. Even with a prepaid GSM phone I hear the users receive a text message informing them that a plan is mandatory. See - http://forums.wireless.att.com/t5/MEdia-Net/Data-plans-on-smartphones-mandatory-as-of-Sept-6/m-p/1836215 for an example of att
You can actually see the SIM slot in it so it must be a GSM capable phone.
Absolutely nothing. There's a program called pdanet that has been around on windows mobile for a long time just for this purpose.
And what do you do when you need to get to company resources on the corporate network ?

And what happens when the posted speed limit changes and the "device" isn't updated in a timely fashion ?
This is usally ARP traffic which is broadcast to everyone on a LAN segment by nature.
Because glass doesn't conduct electricity as well as copper :-)

No.. The tv stream will be multicast so the customer won't actually be using more data - Just joining the multicast group.
In my experience it's horribly slow because of dynamic latency and jitter.
