Dave-
I note this is the CEO of the same company that was at my hospital two weeks
ago offering to provide just such seamless connectivity . . . for a price,
of course. It seems that Seidenberg would have the commons (electromagnetic
spectrum) reserved to the profit-making arm of the economy. I excerpted the
relevant quote . . . below.
Regards to you and your list./Steve

During an hourlong interview, Seidenberg also sounded off on mobile phone
complaints, his company's interest in buying MCI and other topics.
Seidenberg, for instance, said people often complain about mobile phone
service because they have unrealistic expectations about a wireless service
working everywhere. Verizon Wireless, a joint venture of Verizon and
Vodafone, is the state's largest mobile phone provider. "Why in the world
would you think your (cell) phone would work in your house?" he said. "The
customer has come to expect so much. They want it to work in the elevator;
they want it to work in the basement."
