Re: Qualcomm being Qualcomm
T-Mobile and Sprint don't cover alot of suburban or rural areas. Notice their national maps look like a map of the interstate highway system. Roaming is a essential part of their service.
If you have a T-Mobile phone, and there is no ATT and no T-Mobile, but there is Verizon or Alltel, and you need to dial 911, what do you do? If the FCC mandated 1 standard, there would never be such a situation. If any carrier has reception, you know you can call 911, regardless of your carrier's reception. |
