 en102Canadian, eh? join:2001-01-26 Valencia, CA 2 edits | well.. Nobody didn't say that Steve Jobs wasn't an ego maniac (even if it is fake). Apple has had (and still has) the ability to deploy on T-Mobile without much change to its device other than frequency band. They 'could' deploy on Sprint or Verizon, but that'll be a bit of work, as Apple has no CDMA chipsets built, and CDMA as a whole isn't growing much (vs. GSM/UMTS). -- Canada = Hollywood North | |

 |  | | Re: heh No. All AT&T has to do is bump capex and they'd have these problems solved in a heartbeat. | |
|
 |  |  en102Canadian, eh? join:2001-01-26 Valencia, CA | Re: heh A lot of this could be solved by bumping many off of GSM to 3G. In some areas, 20MHz out of 50MHz are on 3G. Obviously they needs more. -- Canada = Hollywood North | |
|
 |  |  |  | | Re: heh I know they're trying hard with the 850MHz migration. But a half hour north of NYC -- a major population center -- I still deal with dropped calls and crap EDGE burps nearly constantly. | |
|
 |  |  |  |  en102Canadian, eh? join:2001-01-26 Valencia, CA | Re: heh Well, in the past it would have been +40MHz of EDGE/GSM, and ~5MHz of TDMA AMPS.
Here in LA, (most of SoCal actually) has 45MHz of spectrum, its all
10MHz of 850MHz band on 3G 15MHz of 850MHz band on GSM/EDGE
10MHz of 1900MHz band (PCS B3) on 3G 10MHz of 1900MHz band (PCS D) on GSM
In rural areas, its not too different - sites are spread out more, and capacity isn't always as big of an issue, unless there are events (i.e. local sporting event, major holiday traffic jams) -- Canada = Hollywood North | |

Contacted by CultofMac.com, an AT&T spokesman described the planned protest as totally irresponsible. The spokesman continued:
We understand that fakesteve.net is primarily a satirical forum, but there is nothing amusing about advocating that customers attempt to deliberately degrade service on a network that provides critical communications services for more than 80 million customers. We know that the vast majority of customers will see this action for what it is: an irresponsible and pointless scheme to draw attention to a blog. -- My BLOG .. .. Internet News .. .. My Web Page

I waited for a year before buying an iPhone, because I didnt want to go back to the horrible AT&T. The network in LA is just atrocious. I have an unlocked one now, and it works perfectly on T-Mobile. Dear Steve, please take the iPhone to T-Mobile or Verizon. | |

I personally want to thank Ed and Dwayne for destroying BellSouth. SBC took over at&t then they took over BellSouth. SBC is so far behind where BellSouth was in 2006. All they do now is look at numbers. The hell with customer service. If the numbers don't look good they don't do it. Dwayne had the opportunity to buy AT&T before ED and past on it. I would love a time machine to go back and see where we would be if BellSouth had bought AT&T. -- GO NOLES!! | |
