When cell systems were developed industry had to develop a priority system to make sure that first responders and national security (politicians and their significant others) had priority access and could get calls through during peak usage times.
TDMA and original CDMA technologies did have this prioritization technology.
GSM, Iden and current CDMA do use a prioritization technology.
So why does AT&T suck?
Simple, essentially when a different phone company leases use of one phone companies towers the users are both in the same technical priority group.
But AT&T has a problem, 3G networks and the iPhone.
To keep primary customers happy AT&T has resorted to prioritizing their customers over their competitions customers in violation of FCC regulations.
Why?
Because the data connectivity of AT&T customers is clogging the system. If AT&T gives the same priority to T-Mobile that it gives to AT&T the AT&T customers would get a reduced level of service so AT&T prioritizes their customers communications over the competition which means if you are using a non-AT&T system, or even a pay-as-you-go AT&T system, you are hosed when you live in an area where AT&T controls access.
These guys were busted up once for unfair business practices and here we are again, forty years later and the morons are doing the same thing over again with a new technology.
Total morons.
I would watch the news, sooner or later the evidence is going to surface that AT&T is taking advantage of the Priority Access Dialing and the Cellular Priority Access System to improve their profits at consumer expense.
When that hits I would short sell AT&T (long term) and buy stock in competitors since AT&T is headed for another break-up and this second time around time people are going to be so pissed that the name AT&T will probably be outlawed.
You can't fix stupid and morons never learn.

Popular authors determining US political policy
As amazing as this sounds the worst of the propaganda distributed to the world is not in the form of news papers, television shows or internet blogs.
The worst is in the form of books.
Many people in this world prize books. Among many there is a reverence for books and the "knowledge" they contain. This is especially true among the pseudo intellectual crowd.
Books like Chariots of the Gods become reference tools for the next generation of pseudo intellectuals building their propagandized non-knowledge.
Today our Commander in Chief is reading tripe about how the military and the military industrial complex plunged us into Vietnam without understanding what the goals were and how to win the war.
This is a common propaganda.
Military commanders do not start wars. Politicians do. If military commanders and business leaders provided influence to engage in the Viet Nam conflict there is no evidence of it.
Essentially the very idea is really the politicians of the age refusing to take responsibility and blaming their problems on some huge mili-wing conspiracy.
Total tripe, but, the uneducated proletariat fall for this tripe and tomorrow they will be using it as a reference tool just as Chariots of the Gods has become a reference.
Sometimes propaganda and stupidity make me physically sick and knowing that Obama could base his policy decisions on a book that makes as much sense as believing the Illuminati are controlling the world financial markets or aliens crew big pictures in the ground is one of those times.

Google Gadgets, Hot Air and News
I just deleted Hot Air from my iGoogle.
I have been reading Hot Air since it started. The columns are not bad, but they are not that good either and they don't let you post comments unless you know someone. Hot Air claims they only open registration occasionally but I have been a regular reader for the last couple of years and have never seen registration opened.
But my post is not about Hot Air, it is about iGoogle gadgets. I love them.
Getting rid of Hot Air was as easy as deleting my iGoogle gadget. No more outrageous and poorly researched articles, Hot Air has gone the way of CNN, the AP and Reuters. All crud news services that I have deleted because of over propagandizing issues and failing to report accurately and objectively.
Looking at my iGoogle I have Car and Driver, Fox News (becoming a terrible propaganda machine and likely to go soon....), Bodybuilding.com, The Wall Street Journal and the BBC still informing me on important events.
So what will I do when I kick Fox news from my iGoogle for being a propagandist and inaccurate yellow sheet? I will run a search and install a new gadget.
Simple as that.
For some reason the majority of news service managers believe that to make money and gain readership they have to become propagandist and inaccurate. I believe this is why so many news organizations are going out of business.
These morons are focusing on the small vocal minority that read their garbage and leaving the rest of us without news.
Prado. 80% comes from 20%. News services are focusing on propagandizing for that 20% and the rest of us are hunting for good news sources.
Thank God for Google Gadgets because they make getting rid of propaganda and testing out a new information source only a mouse click away.
Sure, the 80-20 rule applies and I will only really like and get 80% of my information from about 20% of the gadgets.
That is okay, The world is not going any where and I can catch up on anything I miss in the first 5 minutes of the story.
P.S. Readers unfamiliar with me might not recognize the sarcasm in my last sentence. The world is not going anywhere AND no one can understand any issue watching 5 minutes of any story. It takes multiple presentations from multiple sources as well as returning to original informational source material.

The New American Fasicst
The term fascist was defined by a young communist name Mussolini around the turn of the twentieth century. Karl Marx had determined, and written in his famous Communist Manifesto, that the people or proletariat would never shrug off the shackles of capitalism on their own. Unselfish leaders had to lead the people in a revolution and then force them into communism. Mussolini defined the communist period between revolution and the withering away of the state as the Fascism.
Fascism shares its word root with words like Fact and Feces. Essentially it means to make or force a group or bundle.
Mussolini and his good friend, the leader of the National Socialist German Workers Party (NAZI party and Adolph Hitler), worked very hard to force the world into prosperity and communism. Fortunately for everyone they failed.
Fascists want to make people into something. They are not interested with freedoms that do not agree with their ideology.
Freedom of Religion is acceptable, as long as the religion is whatever the State or Fascists believe it should be.
Accepting people for who they are is great, as long as they fit into the profile that the State or Fascists believe they should fit into.
My nephew once wrote a tirade against religion closing it with ?question everything and accept people for who they are? statement. His wife explained to me that any mention of religion or God was very offensive to them.
Neither of these people questions the idea that they have the right to be free from being offended by ideas that they do not approve of.
They are Socialists and perfect examples of New American Fascists.
Of course they do not consider themselves to be Fascists, they are just exercising their ?Freedom From Being Offended? by attacking and suppressing the ideas and the people they do not agree with.
Freedom Of Speech does not come with a Freedom From Offense. In fact the Freedom to do anything insures that someone will be offended and discriminate against you because of that offense.
Are you religious in some way? Christian, Jewish, Islamic? You will offend fascists and they will call you mentally ill for your belief in a higher power.
Are you a Democrat? People aware of the genocidal history of the Democratic Party in the United States will be offended that you can support a political party responsible for the deaths of millions of people. Fascists will do everything they can to humiliate and degrade you for your supporting a genocidal political party.
Are you White, Black, Indian, Asian, Purple? Your race will offend fascists and they will call you derogatory names.
Your freedom to express who you are will offend fascists.
You will be discriminated against when you offend people.
Yes, it is wrong for people to try and force you into a racial, religious or ideological box. It does not matter what box that is. Different Fascists have different boxes.
The one thing all fascists have in common is their firm belief that they are right and they have the Responsibility to eliminate those who are wrong.
I am an Anti-Democrat. I will be an Anti-Democrat forever. I am an Anti-Nazi. I will be Anti-Nazi forever. I am Anti-Fascist and Anti many other things. I am not going to change my core beliefs.
I am Pro-Choice and Pro-Freedom of Speech (even if I disagree) and Pro-Freedom of Religion and Pro-Freedom of the Press.
I would rather die supporting my nephew?s right to express his fascist viewpoint than suppress his ideology. Not because he is right. In my opinion his beliefs are every bit as delusional and sick as Hitler?s and Mussolini?s. In my opinion if we do not have the right to express ideas that are offensive as fascism we have no rights at all.
I do not degrade people I disagree with. I express my opinion on their support of genocidal political parties or fascist ideologies. I hope that someday people stop supporting genocide and fascism but I am a realist.
Fascists will never believe that they are evil even when confronted and shown how hateful and disgusting their ideology is. Fascists will always blame the messenger for their ?sick? ideas.
How do you know you are a fascist?
Are you suppressing, humiliating or degrading groups of people for their ideologies?
If the answer is no, you are not a fascist you are just expressing an opinion.
Sometimes the line between sarcasm and degradation can be blurred. You have to look at your intentions.
Were you trying to degrade a group based on their race, religion or ideology? Change what you are doing.
Were you trying to help people understand how outrageous, bigoted or fascist their ideology was? You will offend some people all of the time.

Racism
Racism, 1 : a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race.
Accusations of racism against a general group are racist comments.
Duh.
Let me make this really simple for dunderheads like Jimmy Carter.
When you make statements against a group based on their race you are making a racist statement.
"Blacks love watermelon" is a racist statement.
"People who oppose Obama's health care plan are racist" IS a racist statement.
Can we please either educate the proletariat or our elected leaders?
Oh yeah, the Dems are in charge and that means the likelyhood of educating people has dropped to ZERO.
You can't convince an educated person to vote for you by making hypocritical statements like "People who oppose Obama's policies are racist" so the Dems have to keep the proletariat as uneducated and dependent on them as possible.
