[ale] [OT] Cell phones

[Jim Kinney]

But wifi calling doesn't use _their_ bandwidth. It's all in the cloud
so it's free, right?

Hmm. Since comcast has such a huge footprint and many, many people use
the comcast wireless stuff at home AND while they would be roaming on
their phone, this is a sneaky way to shed phone traffic onto comcast
wires and off of cell carriers.

Thus a stronger reason to regulate comcast and other ISP under telecom
rules and enforce net neutrality (actually ram it down their collective
board throats).

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you
gain at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his
own tail. It won't fatten the dog.
