Is this an American thing; to call cities/areas 'markets'? When talking about (LTE) coverage, I would presume the wording is not fitting, but I'd like to understand.
Analysts/pundits downgrade Apple stock to SELL due to it not being the 23 markets they had predicted. "By exceeding our initial projections, Apple has once again made us look like chumps and idiots, and we, in turn, need to respond irrationally to their corporate malfeasance," said Short Sell Stock, Inc. CEO Schlubby P. Moneybags.
Seriously? Moses Hole gets lit up before Spokane? I understand the scale is vastly smaller, but come on. Get them both in place and then light up the tree.
I really wish they would either alphabetize the list of cities or group them by state or alphabetize the cities and then group them by state.
Nice good expanding network. I'm happy to get 30-35Mbps download in my little town in Colorado.
