Last week I went to see the eclipse...towers overloaded...cell phone no worky.

I remember the same happened on September 11.

And it seems to happen every time there's a disaster...

Which makes me wonder - why don't they stick to radios?

36K? Somebody’s hands were greased. I’m sure that a teenage wiz kid could figure out a way to upgrade them if the money were right.

The writing was on the wall for years that Microsoft did not have much interest in their buggy Windows smart phone operating system and Nokia was washed up as a phone maker. I knew this because I looked into buying one and it only took a browse on some major tech blogs to find this information out.

windows phone death knell was tolled Jan 2016.
At the time, MS\Nokia had sold 110 million Windows phones compared to 4.5 billion iOS and Android phones in the same period.

yet Jessica Tisch continued the NYPD rollout through April 2016.

Somebody check her back accounts....

The fire department that I worked for also made awful choices when it came to cell phone and radio equipment and carriers. The person in charge of communications had no clue when it came to technical issues. He got the job because of politics and seniority not his ability to understand communications technology.

About the time that I retired they bought all the chiefs iPhones because that was the in thing to get. Most of the chiefs had no idea how to use them so that was a comedy as well.

There are linux based operating systems beside android..so you get your linux system...you pay your programmers to.progrsm for that only and bypass bill gates or google creeps or iphone robber barons. You never have to worry bout their unnecessary updates...a decent generic cellphone could be about 30 bucks wholesale....
