Completely explainable: people really complain when a plan arises to
put up a cell tower near a low coverage neighborhood:
1: Ugly (yeah. But new ones have far less protruding bits and just
become background visual noise after a few months.)
2: RADIATION DAMAGE (morons. same level of brain damage as the anti-
vaccine crowd and cancer causing power lines idiots. It's the hair
dryers they use! Really!)
3: Think of the children! (never could figure out this one but heard it
at two different zoning meetings. Coverage in my neighborhood is rather
crap).

Apparently it's less of a hassle for the cell providers to put up with
the complaints of crappy coverage than the crap of getting a few loud
idiots to stop blocking cell towers.

I just found out that Fi is available and using both Sprint, which we found had pretty good coverage when we used it with Kroger I-Wireless and T-Mobile. We're not heavy data users, so it looks like we could have more than adequate voice/text/data for less than $30/mo. > >

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you
gain at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his
own tail. It won't fatten the dog.
