I am sick of Verizon always relying on other companies

I am glad that verizon is improving their technology. however, the technology they are about to use will have dead spots and would not work everywhere.( i beleive)
I visited korea and korea had a similar service. I heard that SKtelecom, one of the companies that are providing the recent CDMA technology had fired a satelite for TV service. I believe it is called DMB. I saw the quality of the channels and they are just like direct tv! they also work in subways and basements!
I hope Verizon service's service is as good as the one i got to exerience in korea. I am sooo excited to see DVB-H

I would hope S. Korea would have GREAT coverage... considering that their land mass is 98,480 sq km versus the US at 9,629,091... so that makes it .01% of our area? I would seriously hope that you could use a cell phone in a basement over there.



Point aside. LIVE streaming video will be awesome, what sucks is that I live in a non-VCAST area as it stands now, so I can only dream of the day I will see DVB-H on my cellular telemetric linkage device.

Something else for me to get a new phone for. And seriously, where the hell is the LBS that was promised by VZW third quarter?

YEa they have excellent coverage with normal phone service and their live tv service uses satelite. I think if us uses the same method i think it is possible to cover the whole U.S.

Even with satellite, you will have dead zones. Satellite signal doesn't travel through everything, and the U.S. has a varied terrain.
