apple wrung a special unlimited data plan out of AT&T for the first generation of iphone, before anyone outside of apple was ready for it or the usage patterns it would enable. there are a handful of people left that are still on it, I think it's cheaper than a modern unlimited data plan. don't remember what its terms were for voice and sms I lost mine because the company I worked for at the time offered to pay for our phone plans as a perk (we were an ios dev shop), that counted as switching to a new plan and then there was no way back when I eventually left

the 300 page iphone bill has its own wikipedia page and it sounds like there was a line item for every TCP connection the phone made that month

Remember when Kim.com convinced a bunch of people to invest in his "broadband" connected luxury sportscar with a bank of gsm phones hooked up to a NT box running Routing and Remote Access. Then he made one prototype and used it as a personal car.

Schmitz and Data Protect led the development of a real Megacar, an Internet-connected luxury car system with its own Pentium III Windows NT on-board computer, router, multi-camera video conferencing system, and 17-inch display. To get the broadband bandwidth required, the car had 16 multiplexed GSM cellular connections.The sticker price started at $90,000.

does multiplexing cellular modems in the exact same space actually increase the total bandwidth available or does it only help when there are a bunch of other people around and you're just getting an extra-big share of the available timeslices

Not sure if this is the place to mention this, but I fielded a call from an extremely large online BOOKSTORE company who wanted closed loop wash systems installed at their facilities. Their contractors were all driving huge BOOKSTORE branded trucks and couldn't take them to a normal carwash because they were too big. So they wanted these extra large wash stations for them to wash the trucks themselves, over 300 facilities.

they've gotten better about that here, depending on the origin/shipper. small items are usually packed in a heavy padded envelope now.

When I was at UPS our hub had a single drive-thru wash and all the washing (just like all maintenance) was handled by the hub's fleet guys. Way more efficient to have a few people who just wash the trucks all day during their shift than having every driver do it on their own. Do they expect the drivers to handle the oil changes and tire rotations for the trucks as well?

The person I was talking to sounded like they didn't ha e a clue about what they actually needed. They wanted an automated wash system at first, which we don't really mess with, but have done in the past. We predominantly make heavy duty wash bags for mining and construction equipment which has vehicles being washed all day everyday where they are in use.
