A week or so ago there was an article in the New York times asserting that the reason the iPhone kinda’ sucks when used in large cities (New York and San Francisco especially) was that the iPhone’s antennae were poorly designed. This was kind of a publicity coup for AT&T who are generally viewed as having an underprovisioned network with too few towers in major population centers.
Well, preliminary results from David P Reed indicate that nope, it’s really AT&T’s problem. They are reporting initial results that AT&T also sucks on all the other 3-G interaction devices they used. This would imply that it’s not the iPhone, and is instead a situation more like the one luridly described by Fake Steve Jobs.
Now you know, and knowing is half the battle.
