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."Don't measure yourself by what you have accomplished, but by what you should accomplish with your ability."

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.

Knowing my phone doesn't work at most sporting events probably enhances the experience anyways..."Don't measure yourself by what you have accomplished, but by what you should accomplish with your ability."

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.Kung Wu say, man who read woman like book, prefer braille!

I suspect your 10% rate is low.
