Changes in commodities prices in Chicago will have "known" affects on stock prices in NYC. If you can get the information between the two cities faster, then despite this equal access in the last leg you can still take advantage of knowing before the others.

Immediately after saying that he didn't understand the technology, Rep. Watt said "I don't believe that" (in regards to the internet being less safe if this bill is passed). It's frustrating to see people (like Watt) make decisions in a total darkness without being able to refute others/support their case.

There are a few gotchyas with this setup from my friend's experience when he used a windows phone and google voice via sprint:

1. Reading an sms on the phone doesn't mark it read on google voice and vice versa (it's like having pop email)

2. If your phone is off and you get a call the phone won't let you know you missed a call like the google voice app would. This is important in NYC where you're often in the subway and want to know if you missed any calls.

There might have been other issues but these were the two that I remembered off the top of my head.
