The wireless carrier business model is based on expensive cellular data. If Wifi reaches near ubiquity why won't we all just switch to cheaper Wifi options? BTW 62% of all video on smartphones is done on Wifi today.
I'm not sure about cheaper, as opposed to reasoning of use. WiFi is incredibly ubiquitous in Europe, I would say in part because of the proximity of so many different countries. Imagine if your phone got exponentially more expensive to use between Georgia and Alabama (or if it just stopped working all together). I don't know how well this will play in the US beyond a physical space like the Stadium that's mentioned.
Healthy horses trot with symmetric gaits, and the researchers think an accelerometer placed at a horse’s center of gravity – along the top of its neck above the shoulders – should be able to detect an asymmetry in equestrian gaits. In a test on 12 healthy horses, the sensor accurately diagnosed their trots as symmetrical. The team now plans to run a tests on lame horses to see if deviations in that symmetry can be detected long before the eye can detect developing lameness.
