Every year we stay at the Inn at McCormicks Creek State Park, in the fall. We we keep thinking Verizon will do something to provide cell phone coverage at the park. No such luck. Even on the third floor of the Inn, next to the window, there is no coverage. My personal viewpoint: Competition only exists, in the cell phone business, in urban areas (they all "cherry pick"). The result is duplication of efforts / money (coverage) in urban areas, and no coverage in rural areas. This is an industry that should be closely regulated by the government, to avoid duplication (and cell towers everywhere) and mandated that rural areas be covered too.
