Perhaps I'm wrong, but I thought its fairly typical for large events such as these (with lots of communications assets being deployed, not unlike a Superbowl, etc) for Cell companies to roll in COWs (Cell-on-wheels) type deployments to support additional capacity. Am I living in a fantasy land? Deepak John Lee wrote:

I noticed where the democrats plan to ask a stadium full of people to all use their cellphones at the same time (on Thursday, I believe)
Any thoughts on how useable cell service will or wont be in the vicinity of this event? :)
