There should be. The Fairgrounds is located right on I-75 and I don't know of any place along I-75 that doesn't have a good signal...I have BellSouth Mobility...wait, they changed the name to just BellSouth...no, they merged into Cingular...that's right, no, now they merged with AT&T. Well, I have one of those and never am without a signal no matter where I go in Georgia. It is the biggest carrier in the south, maybe the whole country now.
Anyway, you won't have any trouble at the Fairgrounds no matter who your carrier is. There is coverage by all the recognizable names all along I-75 in Georgia.
Oh, Carole, I didn't realize you were quoting someone else. BTW, it was in the mid-90's this past weekend and, we are getting a little respite this week with mid-80's and some afternoon showers, but we are expecting low 90's again for Father's Day. If the heat bothers to you, you may have made the right choice. However, the real hot weather in Georgia doesn't usually start until after the 4th.
Non no no
Bellsouth Mobility merged with SBC wireless and became the bastard child of both SBC and Bellsouth and a joint partnership to become Cingular. Then they bought AT&T wireless and made it Cingular. Then SBC bought what was left of AT&T and thought they would keep the name instead of SBC b3casue nobody knows what a SBC is but they do know what a AT&T is (now is that Atlantic Telegraph and telephone or Atlantic telephone and telegraph or Atlanta Telephone errrr ). So then they got the bright idea to become a world company and merger with Bellsouth proper and it all become at&t (<----notice the lower case). Then to really confuse everybody they decided to kill jack with the deathstar and put the deathstar on everything. So now I have people asking me about their home phone and if I can get their cat off the phone pole whenever I am out and about in my Deathstar van.
Clear as mud huh?
We do have very good coverage in Perry and maybe I should tell them to set up a COW down there.

Great! Thanks for the answers Minnie's Mate and 2air'. Between the Verizon aircard with a signal amplifier (EV-DO broadband would be a bonus), and a WiFi card with an external Cantenna, I should have the capability to upload a few pictures.
Just make sure you have permission to use that WI-FI. We wouldn't want to read about you getting arrested for "stealing" free WI-FI.

There is a Viral Video going around that says all that graphically, and it's just as amusing as your explaination. If I can find it again, I'll post it if it's not too big for the forum.
Okay, I'll bite...what's a COW?

It could be a type of portable cellular repeater used to accomodate hordes of cell phone users at large events, like NASCAR races. Or it could one of those furry mammals that I used to tip when I was a teenager.
Somehow I missed your question Silver Ranger, sorry, but looks like you got your answer covered. I had Cingular and had a signal but only had call features on our plan. I'll be anxious to see any pictures you can post from Perry!
Not so hot in Perry, eh? I heard that one before, last year from Rich Luhr, c'mon, it's cooler here in Salem. Yeah, right. Then the heat wave (and no ac parking left) I am glad you and others are getting a bit of a reprieve weather wise. I had done the average temp thing a while back and it looked formidable with the humidity. But I heard it was quite pleasant Sunday. Hope the good weather holds out and lets all get outside comfortably.

I think it is a joke if it's the "COW" I'm familiar with as a programmer. It is a tongue-in-cheek programming language that uses numbers which translate into "moo" codes for managing computer memory.

I'm sure there was something tongue-in-cheek about that in all caps since the Georgia National Fairgrounds is primarily used to host agricultural and equestrian events.

Yes, I guess it was pleasant for somebody on Sunday...it was 102 in the sun on my patio about 1:30 PM. I decided it was nap time 'till it cooled off. Shade temperature was 94. Perry is about 100 miles south of me and there is no telling what it was like in the middle of the state.

OH, so you work for THAT deathstar. I used to work for the old deathstar, well, until they sold us.
Does anybody know what the policy is for non-WBCCI visitors at the International? We may try to stop down there and visit with a few of you, time permitting.

To the best of my knowledge it is not a problem to visit folks at the International.But,to take in any of the entertainment etc a pass is needed and can be purchased at the site.
