me, in the car: dang, my call dropped when I went through that tunnel. this never would have happened if I was using a landline!
i get the joke, but you're into a cool idea: what if you used, say, microwave band radio waves to relay the signal between your phone line and your handset? of course to cover a lot of area you'd need to put up multiple antennae and then have some sort of system for determining which area or "cell" the handset was in to decide which antenna to use... and it'd be expensive so probably best to pool with a bunch of other people and set up multiplexing to handle simultaneous calls
i think we're onto something
