I'm in the Houston area and haven't had these issues. - You get small new companies popping up all the time and dying through mergers and acquisitions: to some extent this can be mitigated through your choice of provider. I have

Please tell me you're building in the Houston area. I'd jump ship from AT&T in a heartbeat.

I thought they just wouldn't go over 9 minutes due to internal rules (e.g., you'll get written up if your average call time goes over a certain level). Do you have a source for the "local governments" claim? I'd be

Don't forget that Google Fiber in Kansas City offers a free tier (with $300 installation fee). So if you're insistent on calling both options shoddy, then you've got "shoddy, expensive and slow" versus two options:

I'd allow law enforcement, with the strict rule that the scanner system would have to immediately throw away any plate that they hadn't received a warrant to search for. So they could have the scanner operating at all times, but t

There's a newly-created Mickey Mouse series on Disney Channel; from what little I've seen of it, Mickey's look is much more of a throwback to the Steamboat Willie age. Also, when I saw Frozen at the theater a couple of weeks

Depends on how quickly you can re-rent. If you sign a long lease, the landlord typically offers something lower than "market rate" in exchange for lower risk and less time un-rented. One thing he doesn't say is what percentag
