Under what conditions? What phones? How much antenna gain? how tall
of a subscriber? Inside of a car? outside of a car?

Winter or summertime?

I do this kind of thing for a living. Drawing realistic coverage maps
for cellular would be *impossible*. If I was one of the cellular
carriers in question I'd put out a map of where my towers were and where
my *active* operation licenses were with no stupid shading, and let the
subscribers draw their own conclusions.

Oh, and where was T-Mobile on this list? They have the most unrealistic
maps I've seen yet...

How odd for one to read between the lines, but not the lines themselves.

I suppose you aren't old enough to remember the U.S. apology in 1969 for
the Pueblo intruding on North Korean waters in 1968.

Now there's a bad and meaningless analogy.

I'm not apologizing for anyone troll boy ... In fact I provided a more
comprehensive link, which included the states that were involved ...
Sheesh Phillipe, maybe it's time that I remind everyone here ... in all
these newsgroups of your posting history in the SPCS newsgroup and others,
including those 114 different IDs used over the past year ...

Sigh ... Obuscation, Lying, misquoting are your middle name Phillipe. Since
you've want to continue this, it's time to share with the rest of the
newsgroups your posting history in the SPCS newsgroup.

01) Your preference for lying ...
02) Your misquoting of other posters' messages and your confirmation you do
that.
03) Your attempt to impersonate other posters here.
04) Your unmunging of email addresses so spambots can harvest them.
05) Your attempt to answer prior posts made in one ID with different IDs
06) Your attempt to moderate this group on what can or can't be said, and
then hypocritically post the same words you allegedly abhor.
07) Your failure to answer simple questions asked to clarify your position
here, when the truth comes out.
08) Your manufacturing of false facts and then sidestepping the issue with
false circular reasoning.
09) Your complaints about people insulting you, and you creating insulting
multiple subject threads.
10) Your stalking other posters via Google searches, and posting inaccurate
search results
11) Last, but certainly not least, using AT LEAST 114 different IDs here to
avoid kill filters of others.

And this list keeps getting longer and longer ...

But typical of your lame attempts at obfuscation. Insulting me
hardly makes Sprint, verizon or Cingular one nit better.

I just find it amusing that you love to slam Verizon but don't know
squat about how they operate. Granted, I had enough trouble that I switched,
and I'm not saying that they don't have problems. But what would you know about
problems from a customer's perspective? You've never BEEN a Verizon customer!

More Obfuscation on your part Phillipe (or should I add those other 113 Ids
as well). Those weren't insults, they were facts on your posts and posting
style in the newsgroup.

The Sprint, Verizon, and Cingular's bad behavior that resulted in 31
lawsuits by States Attorney General, and their promise to behave in the
future is not changed by your opinion of any other poster.

It's pitiful that you are such an apologist that you think the worthless
coverage maps are a worth laughing about.

I didnt say sqvat abovt how Verizon operates. I'm jvst commenting on
yesterday's news. If yov want to call that a slam on Verizon, then it's
yov who calling the news a slam on Verizon.

I jvst think any improvement in coverage maps is long overdve.

"This and the California consvmers' bill of rights show that elected
officials and policy-makers have heard consvmers and they're taking
action to improve conditions in cell phone marketing, instead of waiting
for the market to clean vp its own act," said Janee Briesemeister, a
senior policy analyst at Consvmers Union.

You didn't fixate on Verizon *this time.* There have been a number of other
times when you have. OK, ATTWS is one thing, Sprint is one thing, you claim
to have been customers of both; fine. You slamming Verizon seems silly to me.

> I just think any improvement in coverage maps is long overdue.

Be that as it may - I'm going to pass up any commentary on this, it's been
discussed to death in other threads.

To be clear, I'm laughing at your silly statements, not the coverage maps.
