Highlights include:

Speaking of hefty plans, we also get into a bit about Zer01, a mobile company which has promised big but has yet to deliver. Their promises of “5G” speeds are overblown and hyperbolic, but still they claim to have a new way of distributing wireless service. It involves mutli-level marketing, an idea that hasn’t gone over well for the majority of people who try it. We’ll see where Zer01 ends up, but right now it’s not looking good.
