    AT&T has the money to cover the damn US but the way they are building their network is just a strategy to keep their ceo's rich. Besides, if the company uses a big chunk of their expenses and verizon drops their prices even more AT&T would not be financially strong enough to compete and risk the business into a huge dept just to pick thselves back up. I hate ATT for their prices and their services where I live but I got to hand it to them, they know how to keep their hands on everyones necks in this game of monopoly

    AT&T should realize that its pretty easy to switch wireless companies, and, with sites like this, its pretty easy to take your phone with you. Kneel before your customers.

    Seriously thou, this is all kinda stupid - why can't the companies figure out a way to share technology and towers? Or nationalize the infrastructure? The current method of cell use is like the airlines refusing to share airports - Delta having it's own airport, and then US Air having its own... all in the same city. With common infrastructure, the cell companies cna focus on differientiating by customer service, price, cell phones, etc.

    when will these data chumps realize that spending all this money on QOS is pointless, they should follow the simple rule that bandwidth brings QoS by default, and bandwidth is so cheap to implement at the moment, so just put in a 10G to each cell site and upgrade the core to 40G, jobs a good un, thats what were doing in europe.
