    • Has this thread veered off into the ditch?

      Just wondering.

      • Is there anything more worthless than a sideline reporter?

        Just wondering.

          There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese.

              See, they truck in portable cell towers for events like Sturgis. They even truck in portable cell towers to Memorial Stadium in Lincoln during football season.

              My solution is to affix a cell tower, chocolate fountain and multiple timezone clock to the center hung scoreboard at Koch Arena. Everybody would be happy.
              They must need more towers in Lincoln, because I can rarely get a data connection at Memorial Stadium.

              • I hope they don't add any wireless/cell repeaters. Hard to clap when you're twit-phoning.

                  Verizon is about 60% effective. The guy I go with has Sprint and he has better luck. I think that is because Verizon owns a huge share of the market.

                  • This article shows what they are doing in Lincoln, Koch Arena really needs a cell tower built into the scoreboard. It would enhance the game experience for many and allow for uninterrupted texting to friends who could not attend the game.

                    • IBA needs a wireless agreement like that. There is no cell coverage in that place.

                        I dont know if they transferred it to IBA, but the last 3 years the Coliseum was open, they had a similar agreement with Cricket.

                          I'm with Sprint. I can get a very slow data signal right before and right after the game, but forget about it during the game.

                          Knowing my phone doesn't work at most sporting events probably enhances the experience anyways...

                            I have the same issues as well with Sprint. Very annoying as I like to check Shockernet and Twitter during half time.

                            • The problem is very tricky.

                              A voice call chews up something like 9 kbps. Super efficient.

                              However if you stream medium quality music (or pull up a radio station) on your smart phone you suddenly are chewing up 128 kbps. That's 14 times the bandwidth being consumed.

                              For web browsing, if you want a reasonable response time without getting pissy about how long it takes to flip from one page to another you will have an expectation of about 1024kbps. That's 114 times the bandwidth being consumed versus a voice call.

                              In other words browsing websites without crappy quality delays is the equivalent to 114 people connected via a phone call.

                              Now multiply that one person browsing times, say 1000 fans (assume only 10% of us will use the system simultaneously), sitting in a single cell.

                              Currently the far better solution is a massive WiFi system, and that's what Livestrong Stadium up in KC did: http://www.rcrwireless.com/austin/20...i-fi-offering/

                              They have the capacity to handle over 14,000 connections simultaneously; all pounding away at the web, listening to radio, and watching video.

                                Nice explanation.

                                I suspect your 10% rate is low.

                                I swear that I am the only person in section 117, who does not have an iPhone/smart phone going on.
