   Time for the Stick...

   Nothing like a little first amendment motivation to prompt the carriers into publishing their own maps. If they don't, they're subject to being misrepresented, and if they do, the onus is on them to keep them timely and accurate or risk being called liars.

   Deadspots? Here?

   Interestingly enough SF is littered with deadspots. Having lived here for the past 8 years, I'm scratching my head, wondering why they haven't figured this out. Maybe they haven't been properly motivated? Hopefully what Bloomberg is doing will ripple it's way across the country.

   Finding Dead Cell Zones

   DeadCellZones is a leading research community dedicated to identifying specific geographic areas within metro areas of the United States where cellular telephone calls are frequently dropped or where cellular service is not available. DeadCellZones.com provides an open communication platform for consumers to easily report the information that is needed to identify specific geographic areas that consistently experience poor cellular coverage. In our survey we ask for specific intersections where a dropped call is expected -- the infamous "I'm going to lose you in a second..." It is our mission to report these gaps in coverage to companies in the wireless industry to more effectively address these problems. We believe “seamless wireless coverage can be achieved if carriers simply listen to their customers.”
