Time to return to the clown channel, as I would be banned for life if a proper response was given.
Maybe a proper response would be no response at all unless you can forward a link to dispute the facts I have given. Usually the insults and "Shooting the Messenger" starts when the other person has no documents or background to prove a person wrong and doesn't like what was written. If you were somewhat educated in Electronics Physics 101 atleast, you wouldn't be so disturbed of the facts I have given.
There are Electronics Physics Majors in Electrical Engineering who agree to what I'm writing. I know of one who watches this thread and hasn't told me that I'm wrong yet.( I hope he does if I am or got anything twisted) It was about 3 years ago when I left AT&T so my memory isn't as sharp. (Got to use it so you don't loose it)
Some Electrical Engineers are employed by the phone companies doing the repairs, or teaching the 101 basics to new phone employees.
My background job was working for AT&T as a Wirless Phone Sales/Technical Assistant. My job was also to ping towers to know if there was a malfunction. Then I would contact the Tech Team and they would diagnose and repair the transmitters in the tower, even if the tower was owned or leased.
I usually worked through a BOSS system.
So my education does have a small background in what we are discussing, the rest I'm using common sense.
