 http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/cellphones/sams...ypes-247538.php can't seem to find too many recent articles, but read about it in my popular science. basically it's a mini cell tower that connects to your broadband connection. one of the google searches I did had an article saying Sprint will be offering these sometime this summer. pretty awesome though. what would make it extra super awesome is if they'd finish the job and let you connect it to some kinda router and use VoIP phones in your home with your cell service contract. |

it's secured just like your wireless network is. you have to configure it to allow your phone to connect. i suppose if you wanted to you could charge your neighbors to use it
 but it's just to make a connection... they wouldn't be using your plan or whatever... is that what you thought? |

No, I'm saying that it said that it uses your broadband connection. Well I pay $30 for cable, will they help me pay for it because I'm not giving away bandwidth for free. -------------------- FUCK YOU
