Mobile Phone Service, Available In Tunnels
I sure am not talking about dingy and dirty tunnels here. I’m talking about the Big Dig tunnels situated right within the Boston area.
Well, it looks like four of the largest and most trusted wireless carries in the United States have struck a gold mine in these tunnels. It took them years of haggling with the Massachusetts Turnpike Authority but they sure did make it. Now, they would be the ones to provide mobile phone service in these tunnel areas.
All of the four big ones would be sharing the load of the technology that would be used by mobile phone owners underground. As per a report, each would have to give $1.57 million in cold cash for the underground wireless technology that would be used. That is not the end of that. You see, annually, they would also be giving $140,000 for the technology’s maintenance. But I guess all of these wireless carriers have the capacity to spare such an amount of cash.
Goodluck Verizon Wireless, T-Mobile USA, Sprint Nextel, and Cingular Wireless!
