I just noticed a new 3G area lit up this afternoon, Glenwood Springs, Colorado. Anecdotal I know, but they have been upgrading their network for some time now.
Yes and no. Yes, they can divide up available spectrum into finer and finer pieces by adding towers and directional antennas. But overall they have much less spectrum than you might think. One major problem is getting rid of old technology. running parallel networks (2G, 3G and 4G) is incredibly wasteful. Back in the old days, when Cellular One was moving over to digital, they had "trade in" parties, where customers could trade in their car phones for the new digital handsets (without having to sign new contracts... and we got hot dogs and hamburgers too). This was so they could re-allocate bandwidth and increase capacity. Could you see that happening today? Yet, it's ultimately in their best interest to get everyone on the same technology.
However, I do agree they value bits at a higher rate than they should. If they really wanted to, they could do a much better job of managing their bandwidth. There's a lot of roof space not being utilized that could go to more towers too.
1) solar will be recommended. NM gets a ton of sunlight and it's a friggin' desert. 2) Insulation and sealing up the shell will have the biggest impact on energy efficiency. 3) Setting the thermostat to just above/below "uncomfortable" will be the second. 4) LED lighting will be the third. 5) The capital outlay will exceed the amount of money saved for the first 4-6 years... but only because energy production is subsidized in this country.
How much experimentation do we need? This ain't rocket science. Dad was right, turn down the heat and turn off the AC. Shut off the lights when you leave the room. You think I'm made of money or something?
It's kinda like the network effect. Look at it this way: Little Suzy really wants an iPhone for her graduation present. It's only available on AT&T, and your family plan is up for contract renewal. You and the wife have dumb phones, and little Jimmy breaks everything he touches, so it's a dumb phone for him, too. Up until now, the only thing that mattered to you was price and coverage. Tmobile had very good prices. But now you decide to get your daughter an iPhone. Now you basically have to go to AT&T (remember, Verizon has only had the iPhone since January). Since the "best deals" are family plans, you now move all 4 phones over to AT&T. Depending on how Tmobile measures customers, it could be counting all 4 phones as separate revenue generating units (RGUs). Do that multiple times and soon you'll be bleeding customers.
Success, if defined by meeting your sales goals, would have to go to Fujitsu. They've been making tablets for decades now. Most of them run Windows (either CE or X86), resistive touch or custom stylus.
They aren't sexy, but every 7-11 in the country (world?) has at least one for inventory control. People use them for work, not watching movies, so I guess they don't count.
Not only are they raiding, but the methods are straight from the ATF playbook. SWAT team tactics, automatic weapons drawn, screaming, yelling, crying. Over MILK AND WOOD, for cryin' out loud. An old documentary of a raid can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSQ5EsbT4cE
But I guess they're just treating everyone equally under the law, right?
Anyone have a link to the details? I'd love to see how they solved problems like atmospheric disturbances and dispersion. A cartoon of a satellite doesn't tell us jack shit about how it works.
It's unlimited in that you can trickle out data all you want, 24/7. There's no difference in bits gathered between 8:00am and 5:00pm, and bits gathered between 8:00pm and 12:00 midnight.
So you can ping your router all day, with no extra charges.
To the telecoms, unlimited is a reference to time, not bulk.
You know that most CEOs have agents who negotiate for them? If unions would just worry about income for their clients, and not get involved in all the other bullshit, I'd actually be much more willing to be in one.

With 2 call centers at risk, you would think CO would be all over this. Time to get involved...

Not many!
Or pose as a 20YO woman on Twitter who likes to get pictures of a politician's junk.

Well good for you. As for me, every Mother's day I call my mom and thank her for the great hair she brought to my genetic soup.
GOOGLE PLUS IS PEOPLE!
The guy writes an article slamming Google, but right at the top of the page is a +1 button.
Don't read the article! He's turning you into a product!
Maybe not the company, but our customers DO matter to me. I work for them, the company is just a broker for my services.
Why not just cut 'em loose from Deutsche Telekom? 3 Billion in startup funds and an existing customer base sounds like a contender to me.

Green skin, gigantic muscles, and torn clothing.

Lose a bit here, a few dropped pixels there and you end up with the "Face On Mars."
I'd like us to get as much non-corrupted data as possible. Helps keep the kookie insane theory folks from getting any traction.

That profit came mostly from the wireless business (which is non-union), not the old wireline side.
Why should the union benefit from non-union labor's productivity?
Kind of ironic that they crack down on illegal copies then continue to copy themselves.
If Aether doesn't exist then what's in all that cat5 cable? Admin tears?
That's because iDEN's biggest feature, push to talk, never quite worked right on the CDMA network. they couldn't get people to switch.
Once you get out of Manhattan, the place gets better.
I promise.
So your answer to bad politicians is to give them even more power?
