Re: Stephenson partly correct Why on earth would a computer not be connected to the internet or be near one that is?
Video is a waste of bandwidth on a mobile network. There is no need for it, use wifi or wait to see the latest stupid YouTube video. If you want a movie, load it on your iPod from your computer and then you can have it without wasting network bandwidth and having a bad user experience from trying to cram something over a network that was never built for it.
Wifi, because you have to have internet anyways. Since when you do you have to pay more to use your phone on your existing wifi and home internet connection?
No one needs to stream video in the middle of nowhere. Get a grip. Even if I had unlimited, I wouldn't want to waste my time trying to get my phone to have a decent quality video experience and waiting for loading and buffering and such, and then kill my battery. It's just a bad idea all around. | |

Ever been to a small rural town? I doubt they've heard of WiFi, let alone Broadband. Also, some secure systems aren't allowed on the Internet for good reason. But they still need updates and drivers.
Let's see how far you get if you tie a Classified workstation into the Internet to fetch an update. I bet your ass will be in front of the CO within a matter of seconds.

Then I guess they'd better stop advertising that it can, huh? I've seen sh*tloads of commercials talking about their phones supporting streaming video and how much better their network is because it can handle it. Are you telling me that they are full of it?

| A place with no DSL or cable but AT&T 3G. Where is THAT???
If you need to transfer drivers onto a classified machine, use an unclassified machine that has internet access, and flash drive it over. I would think that's something that IT has to do, considering it's not very secure, but then again you're talking about putting your phone's SD card in the machine, so flash drives to another computer isn't any less secure.
They do have a marketing issue with that. They're advertising capabilities that more or less constitute network abuse.
What on earth is your point then? | |
