"nearly all of its wireless communication tower"

"By leasing rather than owning these network facilities, we can better focus on our core business of providing communication services to consumers, businesses, and government customers,"]]>Apr 21st 2009 1:06PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/04/21/sprint-nabs-7-3m-grant-for-hyrdrogen-fuel-cells-at-cell-sites/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/04/21/sprint-nabs-7-3m-grant-for-hyrdrogen-fuel-cells-at-cell-sites/
When I was in the Hanukkah Eve Wind Storm of 2006 in Seattle, I know the power in my neighborhood was off for 5 days, and the first evening all the mobile carriers had power, the next morning T-Mobile was down, but Sprint was still up. The next day after that (1.5 days after the storm), T-Mobile still was down, but Sprint was STILL UP.

So...having this new technology powering their cell sites is a great thing.

I heard from a friend that T-Mobile is deploying a system that actually uses purified windshield washer fluid and a system that dynamically extracts the hydrogen from that...

In other words, it's the same thing (fuel cell) without the potential of the fuel from exploding since it's not hydrogen, it's windshield washer fluid. (And I haven't heard of that exploding... lol!)]]>Apr 21st 2009 11:51PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/04/21/sprint-nabs-7-3m-grant-for-hyrdrogen-fuel-cells-at-cell-sites/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/04/21/sprint-nabs-7-3m-grant-for-hyrdrogen-fuel-cells-at-cell-sites/Apr 22nd 2009 4:28PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/04/21/sprint-nabs-7-3m-grant-for-hyrdrogen-fuel-cells-at-cell-sites/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/04/21/sprint-nabs-7-3m-grant-for-hyrdrogen-fuel-cells-at-cell-sites/
how many businesses own vs lease the locations they operate in - why not lease towers from other people?]]>Apr 22nd 2009 4:55PM
