AT&T announced they will improve iPhone and other smart phone coverage in New York and San Francisco's financial district. Those areas "are performing at levels below our standards,” according to Ralph de la Vega (no kidding!), chief executive of AT&T Mobility at an investors conference, as reported by the Wall Street Journal. So there you have it: ducking out of phone calls because "I can't hear you" is still totally legit. (Amy Crocker)
