Well, this is cable service. I found out 2 days ago I had been qualified for a 25% discount on AT&T wireless for three years and just about ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- myself. I've held onto a San Antonio number for years because it had a 10% drop. :P AT&T doesn't work at concerts, either. |

I've got to think that all the gear at a show, some of which is wireless these days, combined with being in the pit of a concrete structure with a metal roof is nerfing the cell signals more than service coverage, but that's just a guess. |

Recently, I have heard tales of providers putting up extra temporary towers near college football stadiums to handle the added load. |

People walking around with cell phones in their pockets constitute 'idiots'? Really? |

Really? --- End quote --- No. Just the ones who feel the need to be reporting their concert experience online in real time every ten seconds. (and causing me the annoyance of not being able to message one or two pics) It's like the "everyone who drives slower than me is an idiot and everyone who drives faster than me is an ---uvula--- " thing. EDIT: better pic |
