Cellular Goes Underground

Last week the NYC MTA made a surprise announcement as they launched limited cell service in some of the subway stations near me.  As you can see in the shot below the L train is two levels down and is normally a dead zone while waiting for the train.  Now you can still work with your device on the platforms.  It's not yet on the trains which I really don't need to see happen - but I'm sure it's in the works as a safety and control measure.
