Lighting ballast
Probably it is a defective GE lighting ballast. The suspect is probably ignorant and/or arrogant and won't let anyone in.

Re: "petitions asking the FCF to reverse its decision."
A typo.
Would Open Source Solve this Problem?
Couldn't Blackberry or any other entity compile their own applications from Open Source? Why force anyone to adapt their software for all conceivable devices, even ones with insignificant market share?
Re: Hope this makes it to court
I think both You and T-Bone have valid points. Let's see how this plays out.
Re: Hope this makes it to court
Isn't that the exact issue the government is suing AT&T over?
Re: Hope this makes it to court
What's easier to prove: That you stopped paying two years worth of service, or that they throttle your data?
Re: Hope this makes it to court
If you don't like what AT&T is doing and stop paying them, they will ruin your credit rating. You as the consumer are not equal to them. They don't give you the service you bargained for and they promised, you have nowhere to turn. That is where the regulatory agency of the government comes in.
Re: Hope this makes it to court
T_Bone: Ed Snowden and the Constitution.
Consumers are trapped by carriers for two years. Where should they go if they are mistreated, and AT&T breaches their contract?
Re: Hope this makes it to court
Who should protect us consumers against these giant monopolistic dictators, who extract every pricing and service advantage from us?
Re: Back door for FBI
What would Ed Snowden do? :?
Re: second time
Only if there was wrongdoing, not just curiosity, or accident, or mistake.
Re: What willl that do for Verizon's over all service?
If a tower is down, usually the NOC center knows it immediately.
Re: What willl that do for Verizon's over all service?
I think the problem will be quality of workmanship and reliability of the towers. Currently Verizon Wireless has a small team assigned to each tower, with one person leading each group. They are very responsible and knowledgeable. When a third party takes over, such as Alcatel/Lucent for Sprint, there is a larger group of technicians, with much less knowledge, and very little coordination between technicians.
Re: Take away
I wholeheartedly agree with both of your points.
Good news that makes sense
As the Subject says. The buyer is a GSM company, that will not reduce the number of carriers in the US. This should make everyone involved happy, including Sprint customers. Maybe not Sprint board of directors.
Re: Sprint finally catching up to T-mobile.
Does this mean no more need for Airave?
Kids can manage with grown-up phones, seniors need help
Even a 4-year-old can manage an Android device, often better than a grown-up. I think this phone should be marketed to seniors instead. Impaired vision and hearing, arthritis, etc., seniors need easy to use phones. Not to mention, today's seniors did not grow up with computers.
Re: Intercarrier
In Europe and Asia the cell phone voice quality is crystal clear. In the US voice is muffled due to the carriers compressing the sound down to 8k. We've put up with and came to accept this inferior sound. We need quality voice on our cell phones.
Re: MicroCells/MacroCells
e911 is not new, but it is very welcome to cellular technilogy. Hopefully this will also imply better service in dwellings, and not a new way of spying on citizens.
Hope
There is hope that common sense and the benefit of the community will win over monopoly (duopoly) and corporate greed.
Re: Hmmm
I guess phones would come with a secret and unique reactivation code and/or a title, like a vehicle.
Surprised and Clueless
"... they were surprised by the level of skepticism for the deal." This shows how clueless they are about their own field.
Re: At home
It is just one type of ballast GE made at one factory for a short time. All others are OK. If they weren't OK, the carriers would complain they cannot receive cell phone signals with their site antennas.
Re: Hydrogen on top of buildings?
Verizon Wireless uses natural gas for their rooftop generators. How is Sprint hoping to re-fuel their generators, whether they are diesel or fuel-cell? What if the outage lasts days or weeks, roads are inaccessable, or no fuel available, like a year ago in New York City after Hurricane Sandy?
Re: Hydrogen on top of buildings?
I whole-heartedly agree, my friend, you summed them up beautifully!
Re: Why Huawei?
Huawei was accused of spying, and not allowed to sell cards for US cellular sites to my best knowledge. I doubt they would be allowed to be a tech operator like Ericsson.
Re: Ugh.
That's right. Who is going to look out for the consumers and smaller companies? Now Verizon has the green light to split the Internet. There could be a faster more expensive internet with some companies on it, and a slower less expensive internet with other companies on it. If you want to get to the premium internet, have to pay Verizon a fee. This is wrong, the courts are wrong, and it seems the ...
Re: No thanks
T-Mobile is as incompetent as Sprint, if not more. Verizon Wireless is the only competent wireless network, but they nickel you for their service, they are overpriced, and hit you with wrong billing that you will dispute until the end of your natural life.
Sprint is once again thinking to buy another carrier with incompatible technology. Nextel 2014. Why not invest in proper LTE instead, with proper fiber backhaul instead of microwave, natural gas generators for power ...
Both GS4?
How do you tell apart the old GS4 from the new?
Re: What an innovative phone
Oppo has been making some of the best Blu-ray players for some time. They are not unknown.
Re: Petty
This shows how MS is a marketing company, and is pretty incompetent when it comes to software.
Re: Apparently
Actually, the linked article states "at least $100", so it may be a great deal for consumers.
Sorry to see him go
Chair Genachowski has been the best the agency ever had. He made many excellent decisions and had a superb vision for the future. His smartness and judgement will be missed.
Re: About time
Works in Stockholm too. NYC is way behind.
About time
Washington DC and the rest of the World's civilization has had subway mobile service for decades.
Re: The Apple Copyright Enforcement Task Force scores again
It may be good for HTC also, not having to spend time, money, and energy for possible lawsuits. This way they can focus on technology and business.
Best article ever!
Everything I was always afraid to ask -- right here. Kudos Eric Zeman!
Re: Ahem!
I think they don't have enough competition or regulation. Why should they be allowed to sell the same service multiple times? Once when you get "unlimited" data, and the second time when you want to use that data for tethering.
Re: How does it work?
I don't know how this works, nor do I care, because I don't think this change on FB is NEWSWORTHY.
Re: "With Sprint, Anyone Can Launch an MVNO"
Why would anyone want to rebrand this, and offer it to a customer as brand-x, when it can be sold as Sprint, a brand name that everyone is familiar with?
