  Road Runner Mobile works on the hills of Kaka’ako Park No, you won’t find me sitting on a cardboard sliding down a hill with my Dell mini on my lap.  But, I did climb the highest peak to test the Road Runner Mobile service and received full bars.  Now, had I slid down the hill as many of you probably anticipated, the Dell mini would [...]
