As the country counts down to President-elect Barack Obama's historic inauguration today at noon ET, mobile carriers are nervous. In fact, with anywhere between 2 million and 4 million well-wishers descending on the nation’s capital, the cellcos are lowering expectations by asking folks to expect delays. In fact, try to hold back on texting, recording video or even making basic calls, they’ve said.
It might be tempting for those thronging the National Mall today to make phone calls and send photos, but the wireless carriers say please, please try to have some self-restraint. Yes they can?
