You can then factor in money, and not just on the lobbying or corporate side. America has a significantly different population density when compared to most of the rest of the world. Compared to the typical nation providing universal Wi-Fi or mandating TV signal types America has about 20% and sometimes less than 10% of the people occupying the same amount of space. Exacerbating that is, unlike places like Canada or Russia, we actually have a decent number of people living throughout most of our territory. To provide universal Wi-Fi equally nationwide would take a much larger per capita investment than almost any other country. Considering the availability of other options why would the government want to get involved? Personally I think it would be a ridiculous waste of resources with what can charitably be described as a dubious benefit. |

Not to mention, I'd rather not be bombarded by more electromagnetic radiation than I already am. People don't seem to think about all their cellphones, hotspot devices, routers, etc. beaming all that shit within inches of where they're sitting or working. 20-30 years from now when long-term cancer statistics are finally studied, I'll bet there will be some interesting findings. And turn your damn phone off if you're going to carry it on your body.

Well, when you see people walking down the street talking on bluetooth or with earbuds, where is their phone usually? In their pocket.

As far as I know, phones send a transmission every few minutes so that the network can figure out if it needs to re-assign it to a different tower or whatever. So just because you're not making a call doesn't mean your phone isn't emitting radiation.
Plus, if people are texting you while your phone is in your pocket, you get exposed to those signals. And then there's the people who leave their browser active, or are downloading a show or movie while it's in their pocket... Not to mention that every phone manufacturer has declared that they meet radiation safety standards only when it's carried in an "approved" holster......not when it is carried right next to the body in your pocket. Radiation becomes exponentially higher the closer it is to you. I am no engineer, so that is just stuff I've heard. Last edited by Homeslice; 12-12-2010 at 02:59 PM.. |
