But as I have repeatedly said, GSM really just isn't any kind of a real player in the US. It is not today, nor will it ever likely be. In the US, GSM coverage is limited to a few of the largest cities on just a single carrier, and that's about it. If you want to get coverage elsewhere in the US, you have to use other technologies, such as AMPS/NAMPS, TDMA, and/or CDMA. > Where else are analogue technologies still in use? They're still in use over here. If you can find an old analog phone, they'll still work. I don't know how much longer the old analog network will remain in place, but for now it is still available. -- These are my opinions -- not to be taken as official Skynet policy ====================================================================== Brad Knowles, <brad.knowles@skynet.be> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
