I could smell smoke from insidecoming in from the east bay today, i could smell smoke from inside my car on i80. And there are plenty of cities where you can see it, too. But there is probably some shortterm relief on the way. Right now you can just see the numerous fires around the state. Those fires are something our kron four meteorologists are always watching, along with wind patterns. But those places where you get High Pressure overhead, it helps to trap those pollutants right in between those canyon walls and before you know it, the air quality suffers a lot. Its bad enough that the air district issued its 18th spare the air day of the summer friday. In 2015, they only issued nine. So, do those spare the air alerts make a difference in the smoke particulate data . Its hard to be able to just say, yes we see a difference. we do know that a number of people will actually take transit, work from home, or walk or bike to work instead of driving alone. Right now the air quality is the worst in areas in the south bay and east bay. But even in the city, i ran into several people walking during their lunch breaks, and the smog wasnt lost on them.

New concerns about the zika where Health Officials say the mosquito that can carry the some postevent drama on the track tonight in rio. Mark carpenter will have the is heating up steve sprint and tmobile have announced they are lowering their prices on their unlimited data plans. For families with multiple active lines these new unlimited plans can help you save money. Kron 4s tech reporter gabe slate compares the two plans and points out that they come with a catch. Gabe i broke it down by how many lines you have activated. You can see sprint is the cheaper option if you have one line up to 3 lines for the family with 4 lines they even out both offering 4 lines of unlimited data for 160. If you want to use your phone to create a mobile wifi hot so you can connect a tablet or other devices to the internet at high 4g speeds tmobile makes you pay 15 a month for that but sprint lets you have that feature at 4g speeds for free. Tmobiles new plans go into effect on september 6th and sprints begin august 19 so in general, sprints unlimited plan is a better deal. But before you jump ship make sure sprint has coverage in your area. In you live in a rural area sprint can start to get spotty. Tmobile does have more towers and more coverage out there. At t and verizon dont offer unlimited plans but with the other two big carriers now doing it they will likely follow suit. Now unlimited data is great. But these plans come with a catch for both carriers, the unlimited data plans require that all video on the service be streamed in standard definition rather than high definition, a standarddefinition video consumes five times less Network Capacity than a highdefinition video. So going with these plans means you accept to watch video at sub hd quality to me on the small screen. There is not much difference between standard and hd but if you watching on a tablet or laptop. Its more apparent stand up bridge consumer watchdog groups say this slowing down of data speeds when watching video is a violation of Net Neutrality laws. The Electronic Frontier foundation emailed me a statement that said limiting the speed of tethered traffic and throttling video are both practices that violate the fccs rule against throttling and the principle of Net Neutrality. So depending what action is taken against tmobile and sprint and how the fcc rules these new cheaper unlimited data plans may be short lived steve as gabe reported verizon and at t do not offer unlimited data plans but they do have new plans offering more data without overage fees.
