Oh, I don't know. I'd say there is significant denseness on the left coast. ;) :D

Add to that there are a lot of cell phone gaps on the I-5 if G3 was offered it would be spotty at best.

Lets see a train mounted system work there! :D
James, you stole my idea, I'm suing. :mad:

I just drove from Colorado to California and back. Although I had cell coverage most of the way with my iPhone, probably 70%+ of the time, I couldn't even pull email/surf even though I had almost full bars. Talking and SMS would work great, it's just the data was useless. (this was on EDGE and 3G)
If you went through Wyoming that is because in Wyoming you are on a partner network, which does not allow ANY data. Texting and voice work, but there is not enough bandwidth to allow data, would be nice though. Then there are parts of Nevada that are on partner networks as well that I could also not pull any data. When I was on AT&T's network I could pull data just fine.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21656258 Tue, 30 Dec 2008 14:40:06 EDT Re: This system would have worse latency than planes using 3g http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21656242 james :

Similar issue with using terrestrial cell system design for trains in the middle of nowhere. Or in a car for that matter. No coverage.
Actually, train travelers have access to cell towers almost everywhere. And that is because major rail corridors are parallel to major highways(the rail corridors came 1st). And major highways are almost totally covered by cell towers in the US.
While most commuter and short distance train routes are well covered (even here in the west), there are still plenty of places, especially on the long distance trains where you will lose cell service. For example, many of the long distance routes in the west, ie.the Coast Starlight, California Zephyr, Empire Builder, Sunset Limited, Texas Eagle, Southwest Chief, Pioneer, Desert Wind, have several places where they are out of cell range. A highway nearby does not always mean a cell signal ;) Something like this, especially here in the west would be awesome!

In Europe, not so much.
