T-Mobile launches LTE for US forces at Guantanamo Bay
Despite President Obama's first-term pledge to close it, the "Gitmo" Guantanamo Bay Naval Base remains open. It's hard to believe, but the 5,500 military families and staff living there have never had cellular data coverage -- until now. T-Mobile has expanded its 4G LTE coverage to the base by installing 11 new cell sites with LTE coverage. CEO John Legere says he's "honored" to offer the service as part of the White House's Joining Forces initiative.
Former detainee consulting on Guantanamo game
Moazzam Begg spent three years locked up at Guantanamo Bay after being arrested in Pakistan by the CIA as a suspected member of al-Qaeda. Now he's helping UK developer T-Enterprise develop a game based on the prison, aptly titled Rendition: Guantanamo, serving as not only a consultant on the reality inside but as a financier on the project. "This will not demean the reality of Guantanamo but it could bring those issues to people who would not usually think about it," Begg told Deadline Scotland. We're not sure if it's just us, but this is starting to sound a lot like Six Days in Fallujah in that it falls under the "probably not the best premise for a video game" category. Don't believe us?
