AT&T CEO Can't Get Cellular Service In His House

from the can-you-hear-me-now? dept

AT&T's CEO, Dave Dorman, mentioned in a speech that, despite being who he is, he can't use his AT&T Wireless mobile phone in his house, and is forced to go out to the driveway to make phone calls. Of course, AT&T and AT&T Wireless are two totally separate companies at this point (though, clearly, most people confuse the two). Also, it's pretty clear he's not asking for pity, but to convince his neighbors to stop blocking the building of new towers. So, now here's the question I'm wondering: is Mr. Dorman planning on switching to a different carrier this November when local number portability comes about, letting him keep his phone number while moving to another carrier?

    easy fix...

    ziggy switz-cow-ski, ceo of tel$tra, the incumbant monopoly carrier in oz doesnt put up with bad reception. he had his own microcell installed in his backyard. and one of his mates in the next suburb had bad (tel$tra) reception, so he got his own microcell too. also its easy to pay for. just send another 400 it jobs to india....
