- alexburton 10y agoAre you using blockbuster in its' original sense (e.g. home run) or in reference to the video rental store that failed?
- ihsw 10y agoA home-run. Honestly I think Project Fi is amazing and it's the perfect counter to the issues mentioned in the article -- value-added bundling -- because it puts Google between you and your mobile internet provider.
