Fine but the URL's I listed prove even that VERY wrong, which re never
discussed, and merely omitted from his replies. Which strangely you did
also, but maybe you are John.

Looks like two different statements. I was looking at the first
sentence (Cellular carriers are not required...) and overlooked the
second (Building roof tops are not disclosed...) which is countered by
the links.

I've looked at the t-mobile app before and it's pretty slick. In fact
it's a bit too conservative.

Then again, maybe everyone in this group is either you or John.
