01/26/2009 Inaugural
Cell Phone Coverage |
The history-making inauguration of President Barack
Obama also was a cell-phone test. Wireless networks
braced for an onslaught of photos, text messages,
video and voice communications from the millions of
people attending the inauguration.
Initial reports were that cell phones in the metropolitan

Safety Council Asking to Ban Cell Phone Use |
The nonprofit National Safety Council on Monday called
on all U.S. states to ban the use of cell phones while
driving.
The NSC, which says it counts 55,000 companies as
members, compared talking or texting while driving

driving, though 23 have passed some form of restriction.

TV Broadcasts |
TV stations in 22 U.S. cities announced Thursday
that they will start broadcasting their signals this
year in a format designed to be received by mobile
devices like cell phones, MP3 players, GPS units and
in-car entertainment systems.
Unlike current mobile TV services, the broadcasts
would most likely be free, and would provide access
to local news, weather and traffic updates. The broadcasts
could also fill an important role in emergencies like
hurricanes, since they can be received by portable
devices and do not jam up under load like cell-phone
networks.
