Virgin Mobile Goes 4G, Admiral's Facebook Discount SNAFU: TM 74

THIS WEEK ON TECH'S MESSAGE Nate and Ian discuss Virgin Mobile's move to offer 4G to its customers with a couple of intriguing features that separate it from the rest of the market; plus insurance group Admiral gets blocked by Facebook for trying to offer discounts to drivers that seem less risky based on what they post to social media. Plus great feedback from listeners moved to write in with their opinions about last week's show about letting UK residents roam on other networks when they have no signal from their own carrier.
