Charles, Excellent comment. I'd argue though that its not a matter of customer count, but more about a revenue threshold to justify staying in business. I believe the first threshold is about $15k monthly. Unlessthat threashold is met, its not cost effective to stay in business, but if it is

I'm in a 3G area, and ATT is mediocre at best. I cracked my I-phone so I can run my own apps, then modified their settings to I can use it in tether mode. While it might speed test at around 700k, it browses like a slow 128K. Same results in Dallas, and Manhattan. Marco On Wed, Jan 6, 2010 at
