Going to Vermont for a White Christmas? Relax - you'll have 3G service
So, you and your song-and-dance partner have decided that you're going to follow a few classy dames that you met at a nightclub in Florida up to Pine Tree, Vermont, where they're going to be spending the Christmas holidays performing their sister act at a lodge. The only problem is, you have AT&T service and you've heard that 3G service is nonexistent anywhere in the Green Mountain State. How are you going to be able to stream a live video from your iPhone 3GS to the Ed Harrison show so you can get your old Army buddies together for a tribute to the lodge owner, who is the General you served under in WW2?
There will be no problems this White Christmas, since AT&T is in the process of lighting up their 3G network in Vermont starting today. This week, service will roll out in Bennington, Brattleboro, Brownsville, Killington, Vernon, Warren, West Dover, and White River Junction. By New Year's Eve, service will be extended to Burlington, Colchester, Essex Junction, Fayston, Hartford, Jamaica, Jeffersonville, Middlebury, Rutland, South Burlington, St. Albans, Stowe, Waitsfield, West Rutland, West Townshend, West Wardsboro, Williston, and Winooski. In the first quarter of 2010, Barre, Montpelier, and Northfield will finally see the light of 3G goodness glowing in their iPhones.
Wait a second... I didn't see Pine Tree in that list. Maybe it's not going to be a Merry Christmas after all!
