  1. Telecom journos, please stop quoting Scott Cleland. He's a paid telecom bobble-head doll: thehill.com/blogs/hillicon…
  2. Tide is just totally awsome and cool: theonion.com/articles/hey-e…
  3. Guy busted for securites fraud gives ethics lacture to journalists. Clearly I'm back from vacation.
  4. @GlennF Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of phoneys.
  5. Tucson, Four Courners, Navajo Nation, Durango, Taos, Rio Grand Kayaking, Santa Fe, and Albuquerque in ten days. Phew.
  6. Analysts quite justly starting to wonder if Dish is just full of crap about LTE: bit.ly/J32YJ2
  7. @johnnn no it's appreciated...thank you. Traveling so not as responsive as I normally am....
  8. Wrote that Comcast cap story on a hood of a car. Thank you tethering.
  9. @3rdparty @peternowak Lowest tiers are usually absurdly low to give the illusion of choice. Really just a funnel shoving people higher...
  10. @3rdparty @peternowak Why, you could send an e-mail or two!
  11. @jbtaylor I MUST KNOW MORE ABOUT THIS RENEGADE HOODIE WEARING BILLIONAIRE!
  12. Remember when Verizon promised TV franchise reform laws would lower TV prices? Yeah, Verizon doesn't either: news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-57…
  13. Nice video of what life extension will be like in 2050: youtube.com/watch?feature=…
  14. @gigastacey They shut it down just 48 hours after they started: fyx.co.nz/media.html
  15. Making your customers happy and getting your product into the hand of more users is bad, m'kay? multichannel.com/article/484421…
  16. @ShrikeTron You can find the same exact coverage problems half an hour north of NYC in "friendly" terrain.
  17. @spoken well at least we can be comforted knowing numerous high level executives will be punished severely! Or not.
  18. $10 bucks to the person who guesses how AT&T and Verizon suck all the value out of these upcoming family data plans. "Toddler surcharge?"
  19. Not to pile on (ok, to pile on), but this is how AT&T's network is in much of New York State: nydailynews.com/new-york/elder…
