Following our successful official launch in the UK, we got a little love from Britain’s Channel 4 news. Take a look at the clip, below…

Just last week, our VP Community Geographer, Di-Ann Eisnor, did a great, and lengthy!, interview with Tim over at Geek Free Radio.

Wonderfully free.”

In today’s Technology section of the New York Times, our CEO, Noam Bardin, gives his response to AT&T’s annoucement that they will be discontinuing unlimited data plans.
