I moved to Seattle in 1980 and fell in love with the city and it's unique culture. Seattle has grown up for sure but in my view the growth has been handled overall pretty well and we have kept a lot of the coolest part of the culture h

Thanks for responding. It sounds like a pretty reliable approach, but it almost sounds more like availability than coverage in the traditional sense that we think about it (geographic, which has some drawbacks as well). And I agree, the end

The main reason the numbers are really meaningless is because if you want to test the speeds of just the LTE part it is impossible unless you have access to the carrier's test servers ahead of their hand off to the internet. Otherwise

This reminds me very much of Breaking Bad when Walter went to the "vacuum cleaner" who hid him in a cabin in the woods and had to follow many of the rules outlined in this article.

Claims 23 LTE bands with up to 300Mbps, that means it is a category 6 LTE UE which means you will only get that if the carrier you are using has deployed Carrier Aggregation and you have a really really good signal and the you Carrier deplo

I agree, it seems like the better fit for this type of technology would be McDonalds type fast food, not health food. It probably works in downtown SF, but in mainstreet USA, not so much. ATM's are used for simple transactions like get

Interesting, I was not aware of that, but it just seems like there would be a lot more bank tellers if not for ATM's. It may not be a good example, although, on the other hand, it might be prescient in that food service workers will pr

This is seems inevitable, we have seem something similar with bank tellers being partially replaced by ATM's and grocery clerks partially replaced by self serve, we are probably going to see something similar for fast food first but ev

This is a very interesting dynamic because it is absolutely true that the phones are designed to last about 2 years. But the carriers also depend on this because in order for them to introduce new features and functions or to get new spectr

I think this should put price pressure on the phone manufacturers. With the price tag of the phone out in the open, customers will now realize the actual cost of the phones and start selecting lower price models. Most people do not realize
