Re: The Overburdened AT&T Network as a business customer, we'd be very happy to take on the bandwidth cost of installing a microsite in our suite. however, as far as i know they only allow this in a certain markets in north carolina?
there's no doubt the AT&T network went down the tubes because of the iphone. i've been on the phone countless times w/ their enterprise support and even they don't pretend to deny it.
...we have 90% blackberry devices here... as soon as the Iphone 3g came out our service went from a 90% satisfaction rate to maybe 20%... i can't even receive CALLS on my blackberry in my office unless i put my phone near a window. yet i still have a full signal if you look at that. and no, it's not my device thank you.
a microsite would solve a lot of problems.. . AT&T should be shipping them out for free to get people to offload some of their RF traffic at a more micro level...of course their own greed gets in the way of doing this.
...and as far as bandwidth, we have both AT&T and verizon broadband cards, and the verizon are significantly faster. we stopped ordering ATT broadband cards... (and the iphone uses the same network, it's not magic..). |

And that's exactly the point. Instead of trying to get revenue for "better indoor service", they should look at it as offsetting the costs of running their own services.
It's kind of amusing. Businesses get by on margin. There's two ways of improving your margins: sell more or reduce expenses. Most businesses only grok "reduce expenses" when the markets tighten and they can't maintain or grow sales. So long as a product sells now, why do anything to ensure that it continues to sell, tomorrow.
