Sixty feet underground in Kansas City, this is almost assuredly in the Hunt Midwest SubTropolis. It is a unique situation that does not apply to many other cities. I would not read too much into it for VZW.

Sounds like VZW is mostly using it as a marketing point anyways...Didn't realize that was there! Thanks for pointing that out!

I am sure most of it was funded by homeland security or FEMA..

Some guy in an office in Basking Ridge must've been drunk one night and thought, "why not?"  And then everyone ponied up to these names.

Not sure if this would be very useful for sprint since most of its ERT equipment( as far as I can tell) is always on the move or deployed.
