ADs: [IBWiFi] Sprint

I suppose, then, because Verizon and Sprint both use cellular towers, although they
are separate accounts and although they call their programs WiFi, maybe they don't
fall into this narrowly defined forum.

And I suppose folk on this forum don't have any internet connections, other than
through their employer's accounts.

And I suppose that anything to do with a totally wireless connection, like Hughesnet
or Wild Blue have no place here either.

I'll unsubscribe because I have no desire to be involved in something so narrow.

Thanks for your references.
