Robert,

Depending on whether or not the cell sites have generators in addition
to their battery banks, that 4G service may get spotty soon.  When we
went through the "Snowpocalypse" up here in the PAC-NW early this year
the cell sites started dieing in the rural areas as they depleted their
batteries and there were enough trailer-mounted gensets to go around.

Then again, until my house if finished and commercial power installed,
I'm on a small generator with a 3G wireless setup from home every day. :)
