On Friday the 13th, SwayMarkets launched its newest app 'CarrierCompare' for iPhones. Once run, CarrierCompare evaluates the signal, response, and speed of your network at your specific location. After about fifteen seconds the results appear on the screen, along with the results of other carriers at the location, such as Verizon, AT&T, and Sprint. This is the first time an application like this has been available to the public and could cause some problems for carriers depending on how their connections compare to others. The goal is, in the near future, for CarrierCompare to analyze the user's daily commute and then recommend the best carrier with the strongest signal for that path.
What would be really cool would be if the app let you bounce from one network to another if the signal was stronger on a different carrier!
