Interesting, I assume they'll turn off Topeka when Kansas City goes dark.  The signal has always been on here, but various times I get authentication errors.  Data counter still reports zero too!

 

Probably a good assumption. But that's a protection site, so what happens with service on those sites is a still a little up in the air.

No, that is not an "article." It is a company/organization press release written by public relations people.  There is a difference between that and an "article."

I loved how they claimed to be the only ones defending Internet access for the poor in America, but last I checked the poor could go to the library in most places and use the Internet for no charge. Inner cities usually have fast cable internet access, and the cable providers usually have inexpensive low cost options for unlimited wired access, so that whole claim reeked of BS.

But, Ryan, if not for these Mobile Beacon hotspots, how will the poor afford to play their Xbox One online networked games and stream Hulu to their flat panel TVs?

This was a condition of Comcast buying NBC. If one can't afford $10 a month then why would these need an Xbox or a flat panel TV?

You need to reboot your sarcasm detector.  It must have locked up today.

 

I was making light that poor people who supposedly cannot afford home Internet access frequently have nice gaming systems, TVs, not to mention, cellphones.

My sarcasm detector is fine. I was just making light of the fact that these people have lots of options other than Mobile Beacon. Of course I'm aware this is a country where the poor have big screen TV's.

 

I knew there was sarcasm but I felt I needed to make the point Mobile Beacon wasn't needed.

No problem, Ryan. I concur on all points.

    • Was able to install the March 1 Android security patch. Seems slightly more accurate with 5g ca band id, but can not swear by it. Updated google play system update through the software information screen to March 1. *#73# still works. Froze updates waiting on SCP update beta to fix n41 showing as n38.
    • Just installed it. Thanks for the info.  71 mb mar 1st date.
    • There's a permit for a new 47 story building at 205 Montague St in Downtown Brooklyn. The problem is that  T-Mobile eNB 48352 is on the building next door and this new building will block two out of 3 sectors of the site. For reference, the new building will be roughly as tall as 16 Court St which is right across the street. This site is the primary site covering Cadman Plaza so I wonder what the plan is. Will they just try to change sector placement, move to a different building, or will this just speed up the conversion of the Sprint site at 25 Monroe Place?
    • At least not recently.  I think I might have seen this a year ago.  Not Sure.
    • Did they previously hop between n38 and n41 in prior version of SCP, or have you always seen n41 displayed properly?
