Also, does any of this really matter? Who chooses their mobile device based on the transmission technology? Most look for the features of the device itself. I could honestly care less what my iPhone or iPad use inside, as long as it's affordable, and works pretty much everywhere. I guess one out of two ain't bad  |
For us tech-savvy people, that's fine. We know what the deal really is and know to ignore the fluff and can figure out the important services and features that will serve us best to make an informed choice. The problem is that for the general public, inflated numbers from carrier to carrier and misleading statements are basically false advertising at best and manipulation at worst.
