We've had good service with Sprint and yet there are those bumps in the road that make us wanting to start looking elsewhere.
Probably because they're sensing the coming disaster of November 24th, the date when people can change providers and take their number with them, the cellphone carriers have come out with a voluntary consumer code that includes such provisions as a 14-day trial period for new service, accurate labeling of charges and fees on billing statements as what they actually are rather than hiding them as "taxes", etc. It probably won't be enough to prevent Congress from passing some kind of "cellphone customer bill of rights" though, since just about every single person we know with a cellphone (which is pretty much everyone we know) is pissed off at their carrier for one reason or another, and even politicians in Washington know how to capitalize on that kind of unbridled anger.

Since the lovely and talented lady of the house works in this industry and has for 20 + years, this caught my eye. Yes it's a good thing and more hospitals should take the hint.
Hospital chain implemented secure wireless networking: 10 percent of doctors use it: Last year, Partners Healthcare System, a hospital operator, added wireless access to its patient systems. Today, 10 percent of doctors use the secure system to access information as they roam. Doctors can immediately place pharmacy orders, among other features. I continue to hear that hospitals need wireless networks (with robust security) more than practically any other operation. You have many employees who are never at a desk, who have extremely time-critical tasks in which information can be a key to life and death or at least the difference between great care and good care. Many companies have targeted the medical market, and we should see more innovation and more interesting integration appearing over time, like Vocera's communicator badge.... [802.11b Networking News]

Today is a good day to spend on the net and avoid TV other than movies or sports. Channel surfing today was one continous 9-11 orgy
