Alas, like Hollywood, Sprint couldn't figure out how to use Judy Greer properly either.

FWIW ordering from international chat is a breeze if you've never done it. (Alas, they closed the one corporate store in my area.) Just give them the exact info they need: Part: SIMGLW446C SKU: CZ2144LWC UPC: 019962040146 You can then verify that they ordered the correct item for you when you get your order number.

The problem (from a non-philosophical perspective) as I see it with nationalized wireless infrastructure with carriers running as MNVOs on top of it is that the decisions about what places would get infrastructure would, inevitably, be politicized. And in our system of government, the squeaky wheel gets the grease, which in politics translates into the rich and powerful getting more resources and the poor and marginalized getting fewer. We see this in government-built infrastructure: a national passenger railroad system designed to appease politicians rather than serve customers; government agency upon government agency run from West Virginia because a powerful senator diverted resources to his state as a jobs program for his constituents; highways built to wall off "undesirable" communities from wealthy neighborhoods. "Universal" wireless might well claim to serve everyone, but it'll serve those with political connections much better than those who don't have them. And when the poor and marginalized get screwed by the government, they can't vote with their feet or pocketbooks and choose another government instead. Besides which, we've seen what we get from government-owned wireless in the United States already. And nobody would hold up the likes of iWireless, SI Wireless, or Swiftel as paragons of technological prowess or customer responsiveness.
