I just received the Sprint card for the MAC. Absolutely effortless in downloading the software and installation. Works like a charm. Billing is a bit funky – 40mb @ $40/mo. $80/mo is unlimited. Trying it for 60 days, so far very, very good……

The Quad-Cities are not in the greater Chicago Area. We are 2 1/2 hours away. That is like saying Orlando is in the greater Tampa area or San Diego is in the greater Los Angeles area.

People in Chicago are relatively tech-savvy and almost everyone I know has high speed broadband. The rates are also low – I pay about $17/month for 3 Mbps access via ATT. Every year, I get to double my speed and reduce my rates. I think a lot of people forget the number of tech start-ups in Chicago too. Om – how about an article on that?

Interestingly, way back in the AMP days, it was the first market launched. Given that, for years they had the highest penetration of cellular. I can't imagine it's a hold over from that, but it's interesting they should still have a fond spot in their heart for wireless.
