Apparently each carrier went its own way. <br>

I know some folks who were in the Virginia delegation to
the Democratic convention in Philly. I asked as to what
communications techniques where used on the floor. I was
surprised to hear that it was done almost exclusively with
texting. The DNC whips who handed out signs used text.
The people I know who are Sanders delegates used text to
coordinate within the Virginia delegation as well as
receive texts from the Sanders campaign. There was
little lag time in the messages.<br>
<br>
People were using their own phones, so you can assume they
used different carriers. Obviously there was a cell
access point at the hall, probably a couple. I wonder if
the different carriers formed a pool or did each have a
separate tower? I'd like to get some stats on how many
texts were passed at the event, but have no idea were to
look. <br>
<br>
I have heard no reports of Pokemon on the floor of the
convention....<br>
