EVDO

Just a question. Does USCC have any EVDO markets? I didn't think we did, I know we don't in our market, so why do the new price cards advertise EVDO capability on the new Razrs? If we can't use it, what good is it to brag about the feature?

I thought you might have it up there. We don't here, and the tech team told us it would be 2-5 years before we got it. I was wondering if I visited a EVDO market if it would work, or if I could use it.

EVDO launches in milwaukee 11/19 with the start of the holiday promo. I do not know why they would promote it as a feature on the price card though in other markets except milwaukee. You might black that out or delete it.

You can almost guarantee that the engineering department has actually been installing the EVDO equipment all over the place but are still tweaking. They will launch soon.

I love this company. Why would the tech team tell me that it wasn't coming for a few years?

It's just their standard "Promise Less, Deliver More" philosophy.

Good in theory but frustrating to people who aren't "in the know"

Which includes 2/3rds of the company and all the customers. It's bad business practice to have so much conflicting info running around.

It doesn't really matter around here. We can't get people to try easy edge, that's just too fancy smancy for the people around here, and the kids have to make their parents understand how important it is, then pay for it. That doesn't fly much either. Even if we had EVDO, getting people to actually use it will be a challenge.
