Re: Fake Steve Jobs weasling - worried about legal charges? said by fAcEtIOUs:said by kapil:What legal consequences? How about a class action lawsuit against him for anyone not reaching 911 fast enough and dying or suffering medical consequences? Of course that lawsuit could include AT&T too. But he wouldn't be left out of it. Does eating up the bandwidth really affect phone calls? Seems like AT&T would be liable as that means at anytime their 911 service (or phone) would go down if everyone got online and started downloading regardless if someone told them or not.

All I know is that my brother & his wife have AT&T and they drop calls all the time. And it is usually when they are in or near a major college campus in Phlia where heavy data usage would be expected. Maybe it is a coincidence, but I think not. And it happens with both an iPhone and an LG feature phone

If it's a college campus, the college 99.99% likely has WiFi, and all the iPhones would be happily chugging away on the campus's WiFi network. Voice is another matter...if there are a LOT of people using AT&T phones the voice network might actually be overloaded. Different problem altogether and won't be impacted either way by Chokehold. |

Just because wifi is available doesn't mean most of the phones would be using it. First of all, the LARGE majority of iphone users probably wouldn't know to even try setting up their phone to work on the college campus. Second, there really isn't much of a point to do it anyway. When I was in college I used my phones data even though wifi was available, wasn't worth the effort of switching to it. |
