More on Mobilecomm and are they fo real

[David Farber <farber () central cis upenn edu>]

Well I called them this yesterday and was told, they could mail me a cedit
application and then when they got it back they would  enable service. Now
that is a real consumer oriented service -- credit cards  you got to be
kidding. By the way the normal Mobilccomm pager representatives never head
of the Apple unit so if you think you can just swaps -- forget it.


The reason I write on that is to show how disconnected the RBOCs seeem to
be from the real consume market. It would  be like Apple selling you a
computer and telling you that it would work in two weeks!!!

Today I just boughta Newton Message Card. It said call Bell South to
subscribe so I went to call to see if I could get my PIn switched to the
new ID. Guess wat. This contender in the NII arena is only open 9-5 Monday
to Friday. Tough luck if you want to join the electronic world other times.
When will they grow up!!!
