A Vermont state employee drove 6,000 miles in six weeks to prove that the cellular coverage maps from the US government suck – and was wildly successful.
In fact not only did he prove conclusively that reports delivered to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) by mobile operators aren't worth the paper they're printed on but also swung a spotlight on just how bad bureaucracy can get when it comes to Washington DC.
Corey Chase, a telecommunications infrastructure specialist who works for the Vermont Department of Public Service (PSD), undertook the monster road trip with some specialized equipment: six phones, each connected to a different mobile nework, and a custom piece of software, G-NetTrack, that carried out constant measurements of download speeds.

Wasn't this the MikeeUSA program with a bunch of hidden racist/misogynistic easter eggs in the code? LOL

We can understand MikeeUSA's ministry as reduced to three things: all forms of slavery that have the word "government" stamped on them are evil because men are not angels, all forms of slavery that have the word "contract" stamped on them are good because they are enforced by the infinite turtles upon which the Earth itself stands, and finally that women are, in fact, angels.
(Our inability to reconcile this with her ravings against the angelic sex only serves to demonstrate her incomprehensible genius!)
Therefore we should heed her clarion call: kill all men and implement the EMACS forthwith, immediately, posthaste, &c!

Yes, no racism however. MikeeUSA respects other cultures for how they treat their women and girls.
