Dead Cell Zones is a leading research community dedicated to identifying specific geographic areas within metro areas of the United States where cellular telephone calls are frequently dropped or where cellular service is not available. DeadCellZones.com provides an open communication platform for consumers to easily report the information that is needed to identify specific geographic areas that consistently experience poor cellular coverage. In our survey we ask for specific intersections where a dropped call is expected -- the infamous "I'm going to lose you in a second..." It is our mission to report these gaps in coverage to companies in the wireless industry to more effectively address these problems. We believe �seamless wireless coverage can be achieved if carriers simply listen to their customers.�

I can't think of anything I want less than cell phone service in the subways. It's bad enough on above ground trains. Ugh.

I have this image of Mayor Bloomberg walking around the city, yellow legal pad in hand, cellphone to ear, saying: "Can you hear me now? Good. Can you hear me now? Good. Can you hear me now? No? Bad. Write this down... 23rd and 5th."

My apt building is now installing a Sprint cellphone tower on the roof and I am concerned about the possible future consequences to my health of the radiation emissions. This, too, should be remembered as the city pursues it's goal of eliminating every possible "dead zone" in coverage. Dead zones or living longer "respite" areas? And don't get me started about the subway!
