    The values in Set A fits within Set B. 

     

     {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9} 

     

    So Set B contains the values of Set A while Set B does not contain all the values of set A. Thus Set A is the superset of Set B. 

     

     I think you got a little mixed up here. The correct statement is

     

    "Set B contains all of the values of set A while Set A does not contain all of the values of Set B. Thus Set B is the superset of Set A"

    You struck a nerve!

     

     

    Seriously, Milan should be advocating for EDGE shutdown first. Fully modernized rural setups would allow for TMo to decommission EDGE and GSM altogether. That is the biggest spectrum savings around for T-Mobile. HSPA is still efficient.

    I fully expect T-Mobile to reduce GSM sooner than later. I bet they'll eventually do what AT&T did in NYC and move GSM carriers into guard bands until it's feasible to completely shut it down.

    LTE Roaming..? That's new

    I only see the 2 old dbs maybe you added them to a different dropbox folder. I know I do that a lot. And Thank you for contributing to the spreadsheet.

     

    I can't view it may be as easy as changing the share to anyone with link.

     

    Must be US Cellular LTE roaming going live. I may need to take a drive to check on some things not for LTE though. ;)

    Time Warner Cable is doing there here in NYC for us for free. If you have a Roku box, you can download the TWC TV channel and get access to all your channels streaming within your home.

    Charter does the same thing for free. They have an app that you can use in home to watch all available broadcast TV stations. Outside of the home you have limited access to stations based on their agreements. Charter doesn't have data caps on their internet services, so that isn't an issue like it is with Comcast

    Yes, here we go. Amazon now becomes a portal with a 'free' service. They get ultimate choice who they support and who they pay. They may be open up front, but now we are setting up another gatekeeper. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. No gateway and portal keepers for the open internet.

     

    They make it alluring by making it free. Then people all jump on board and it becomes a major content portal. And then they can do whatever they want.

     

    We need to leave the internet open and reject these portals. Wait until it's not just apps. It may even become the whole worldwide web. Maybe even S4GRU will have to one day get permission to be used for free from the Portal Gods.

     

    This is not good for anyone. They are trying to re-do what made the internet great. Big Business always hated competing with me and you and the guy down the street. They want ultimate control. And your generation will give it to them for circus and bread.

    The internet has had some form of portals for a long time. There's nothing inherently wrong with portals on the internet. YouTube is a free and open content portal with moentization features, is there something wrong with that? At its core, a web portal is just a site that aggregates content from numerous sources in to an easily accessible site.

     

    The internet will continue to be free and open as it is today unless ISPs start mucking about. The FCC passing net neutrality rules is a key step in keeping the internet free and open and preventing this from happening. There is nothing inherently wrong with businesses using the internet to make money or curate content so long as the average Joe can continue to run his own website. The beauty of the internet is that everyone, from big corporations to individuals, is free to create their own websites and services.

    T-Mobile BingeOn is not the only assault on Net Neutrality. Now it's Amazon Underground: https://developer.amazon.com/public/solutions/underground

     

    My son posted it on his Facebook. He and his friends are all excited to get free apps and content. But really, Amazon is now picking winners and losers. Winners get access to millions of Amazon customers who get their stuff for free. Losers get shut out and their apps fade to oblivion.

    Gonna have to disagree with your assessment here Robert.

     

    Amazon Underground is free and open to any developer who submits their app, providing that the follow the guidelines. This is not too unlike Google Play, which has its own set of guidelines that developers have to abide by in order to remain listed. By your assessment, Google Play is a "walled garden," when in reality it's an open platform for listing applications. Apple's App Store is arguably a worse offender since Apple reviews applications before they are even listed at all and can outright deny listing on the app store. In Apple's walled garden approach they haven't been picking winners and losers as there are many apps which provide similar functionality. It's not "picking winners and losers" unless Amazon starts to decline listing of apps that compete with Amazon's own services, or declining apps based on there already being an app of similar functionality listed. If that starts happening (like they have already done with refusing to sell Chromecast), then there's a problem. Until then I see no issue with Amazon Underground. Users get "free" apps and developers get more ways to monetize. There's obviously still a price to be paid for the "free" apps in the form of extra tracking and analytics, but that's a different can of worms.

    Now if Milan is reading this and wants two answer, I'll sit back and listen. Doesn't Ookla automatically pick the server that gives the best results? Even if you hit the auto-select within settings, isn't that Ookla automatically finding the server with the best results?

     

    If that's the case, then why do we need to manually select? If it isn't... maybe Ookla should do better with their app? If that's the case...then why do we cite Ookla so much?

    I'm pretty sure Ookla picks a server primarily based on ping, but other factors such as server load should play in to selection as well.
