Inaguration cell phone service [telecom]

Mar 03, 2009 1 Replies

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

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.
