FWIW:  Several friends who attended the Inauguration reported that
Verizon cell phones still worked, but AT&T cell phones did not.

Would anyone know of how cell phone service responded to the huge
crowds that day, either by anectote or actual statistics?

Thanks


[public replies, please]

I know that both Verizon and Sprint brought in COWS to handle the extra
traffic.  I'm sure at&t also did, but maybe their system was overloaded.
