Un-official.. yet we all deal with it!

The FCC decides... the State Department agrees: and mergers occur whether consumers like them or not!

I just drove from my home in Southern Minnesota to a little town on the Gulf of Mexico without losing an Internet connection on a cell phone connected as a modem to a laptop computer!

I remember carrying a phone that looked like a brick in 1990 which would work sometimes in my local area but not near a bridge or tunnel!

I am personally amazed by the fact that I can place a wireless device into my computer in rural MInnesota and log onto the Internet but I get calls from the middle of Kansas much less Wyoming complaining about 400kbs per second!

I don't know folks... please tell me what you think!
It is possible that I am too old to do this job!

I've had a blackberry since 2004! I could not live without the device. While in China last month, I was able to post from it right here on FM! In 2002 when I was in China, at a time when at home, cell phone service was sometimes iffy...like dropped calls, the cell phones in China were so miniscule, people wore them around their necks! I called the US using such a device, and it was awesome! I haven't seen them in the states..yet! I doubt I would purchase one now, as I am too used to having "everything" at my finger tips!


Mergers will have to occur, I want the new Blackberry Bold, which is 3G, but is only offered by ATT...due to a contractual agreement, AND ATT has kept up with technology. It will be months before T Mobile offers this...and my new bold will probably run "slower" than if I switched to ATT...


I doubt you are too old....but you do have to keep up. A friend of mine "was" a programmer for My Space, for several years until "technology" took over his job. He could not keep up with the technology brought by the use of iphones. He is now back in programming school. It never ends..

Good luck!
