The Swing States Can Hear You Now
from the extra-coverage dept
Remember when the various wireless carriers put out identical press releases about how they were beefing up cell coverage for both presidential conventions? Well, that was nothing compared to what they're doing now. Realizing that the horde of press, politicians and lawyers that will descend in any contested voting location will be the equivalent of a "natural disaster" where everyone needs to use their mobile phone at once, the various wireless carriers are trying to boost their cell coverage in the swing states where confrontations are most likely to occur. Democracy may be failing, but at least the cell coverage is good.
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

Then again, I wonder if the political operatives won't be hauling around cell phone jammers...
