Better Data Coverage
Prices and devices might be keeping consumers away from wireless data servicies. But businesses interested in mobile applications are put off by the lack of complete data coverage. There is no ROI if you're workforce is only within coverage half the time. Coverage is a big issue for everyone. And I'm not sure what the solution is. Given the size of the US and our relatively distributed population, I'm not sure that the coverage issue will ever be resolved. But industry consolidation will probably help to some extent.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
