Police in a town in New Hampshire have to shut off their in-car computers' wireless modems when they hit the local 
Dunkin' Donuts drive-thru because they interfere with the restaurant's computers -- giving them a reason, along with 
the current networks' slow speed and spotty coverage to push the city there for an upgrade. Forget things like 
inadequate service from incumbent providers or helping attract business investment. The ability to get donuts easily 
and expeditiously is all you need.
