So using CDMA on the 900/1800mhz bands would be legal? I think you just reworded what I said.
Not sure what you're referring to in regards to "measures [measured?] units" unless you mean measuring units, which doesn't really relate to radio technology standardization.
I never criticized Europe for their cell network, as I haven't been there. However, I'm quite pleased with the amount of coverage that is offered in the U.S., particularly by Verizon.
In my opinion, it has done the U.S. good in providing a choice of technology.
I haven't been to Europe yet. Verizon offers great roaming plans for the U.S., however they aren't international unless you count Canada SingleRate (a plan they offer).

A virtual host implies that the i.p. address will be the same. The web server's job is to distinguish how the requests should be treated by looking at a certain header that the browser gives it.
The truth is that CDMA itself is not patented by Qualcomm. Yes, it was originally developed by the military. Qualcomm simply patents the way it is used by cell phones. The idea is that there's a right way and wrong way to use CDMA. The wrong way is to not have it be efficient and have it waste lots of power on the device. The right way is a patented process that Qualcomm owns.
Here's a much better explanation of the whole thing. Great reading if you're interested in cdma, gsm, wcdma, cdma2000, evdo, gprs, etc.
Also, there are more posts floating around on this article saying that the Qualcomm is evil because it's monopolistic. That is complete BS. If there is to be any finger pointing to be done it should be directed towards Europe and their protectionist laws. Several countries in Europe made laws years back that made cell technologies except for GSM illegal to operate. Wow, I wonder why. Qualcomm is from the U.S., and the other GSM companies were from Europe. Did the U.S. do the same thing? Obviously not. Hence the [healthy] competition between CDMA and GSM carriers. The link I gave above explains a lot of this.
I'm very interested in any evidence that you can dig up about this. I'm not doubting you, I just really want to believe that this is what is going on. It would definitely be interesting to everyone I would hope. If you can find out anymore details please post here. Thanks
Sorry for the use of bold, just wanted to make sure I wasn't misunderstood.

They switched nameservers to mydomain.com
Their dns resolves to 213.30.180.219 for their main site and their english site. It won't do you much good since the server at that end isn't responding.

I went to their page a couple of days or so ago. I'll try looking through some logs, if I find anything I'll reply.
Assuming you're on the America's Choice plan, I think the coverage should follow similar to that plan though the extended network may not support it. (Extended network = non-Verizon towers)
I also think the $99 would be an option that goes on top of your existing plan.
I doubt it'll work in Canada because the single rate Canadian plan means that Verizon is dishing out money to the towers it has roaming contracts with up north. Since they aren't owned by Verizon, I wouldn't expect express coverage.
Yeah, that $11 I paid included shipping. If you need more details about Verizon things, check out these forums.
I don't quite agree with the analogy to protesting because people may not agree with the war, but that there are several levels with that kind of disagreement. When you take surveys, they may have "agree strongly, agree, somewhat agree, not sure, etc." These war polls are just "agree or disagree."
However.. I'm disappointed at only half of the population voting. It's one thing if they don't care. However, they have no right to criticize any official that they could not have voted for, but instead they didn't vote at all. That's what really annoys me.
Verizon gives you the ISP access, no dialing in. The signon process takes 2 seconds or less. It's pretty cool to try out. Yeah, I suspect the $99 is more for heavy business users. It's fun to use for a laptop in the car on a weekend (assuming you have unlimited nights&weekends).
If you want to try it out, I'd recommend Googling for your model of phone and look for how to connect it to Verizon's network. For mine, I plug in the usb cable and dial #777 (I think) and user/pass is qnc/qnc.
3 options. The free, the limited, and the expensive-but-oso-cool option.
Free: Plug in the USB cable and make sure you have the necessary drivers and the phone set to the right setting. Typically, you're limited to 14.4k but it only uses normal airtime with NO extra charges.
Limited: You can pick a plan with either limited airtime for data or limited usage (like 40mb a month for example).
Expensive but oso cool: $99.99 a month gets you unlimited, any time of day, bandwidth at constant ~140kbps at peak time and ~170-180+kbps at offpeak hours. I've heard great things about this if you plan on using this a lot.
You'll need a phone capable of doing this. Most newer phones support it. Check Ebay for a USB cable. It shouldn't cost you more than $11 especially if you check eforcity.com
For example, my Motorola T720 is recognized as a usb modem when I plug it into my computer. Since I don't pay for any of the plans I mentioned above, I get 14.4. Still good for checking email or browsing low-graphic sites.
The official info about this kind of stuff can be found here at Verizon.
I have a Galaga arcade game in my basement back home and whenever I have people come over, I always get at least 1 person who becomes obsessive in getting an incredibly high score on it. I've only gotten up to level 15 or so (yeah yeah I know others have gotten to #1,493 or whatever) but it's a pretty cool game nonetheless.
The rules, scheduled to take effect this November, would allow customers to keep their existing phone numbers when they switch from one wireless provider to another.
IMHO, as more people rely on cell phones it'll become more regulated.
I think he meant having the name of the person/organization calling if they aren't in the phonebook. Currently, only the number shows up unless you have it associated to a name in your phonebook.
A lot of the spam are nw on dialups/cable/dsl from giant ISPs that could care less. Especially when they're outside of your home country. I was being DoSd once from a couple of cable provider. I called one of them up (both were national providers) and they're autogreeting told me I needed a court subpoena before they would take action. That is what I mean by them not caring.
Verizon has already successfully sued text messaging spammers. I expect calls from telemarketers (if any) would be made during the day, aka peak hours (most expensive). Which carry a higher price (over allocated minutesper month) than text messages. I'd like to assume my cell carrier would bludgeon anyone who started doing unsolicited calls on their network.

How do copyrights restrict the manufacturing of printer cartridges?
Unless you're a prepaid customer, you'll probably end up waiting until your contract ends. Unless you enjoy obscene contract termination fees.
It's a virtual host and I can resolve both just fine as they have moved their nameservers.
aljazeera.net has address 213.30.180.219
english.aljazeera.net has address 213.30.180.219
Yep, you're right. Their site appears to be back up.
If you want to access their english vhost I'd suggest adding the host/ip to your hosts file.

In November, you'll be able to own your cell phone number. Expect a VERY high churn rate when that comes.
