Dkoellerwx Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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."

belusnecropolis Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Yeah, please let me rephrase that to mobile beacon support pamphlet. Jeez, Defenders of Light and the Internet according to this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ 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?

AJ http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2489019,00.asp 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?

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

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. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WiWavelength Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 No problem, Ryan. I concur on all points. AJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
