Cell towers everywhere!
from the You-can't-have-you-cake-and-eat-it-to dept
Israel has one of the highest cell phone penetrations in the world. Around 50% of Israeli's have cell phones. There are three cell operators in the country with plans for a fourth. The problem is that the cell antenna's are everywhere and people are concerned with the health effects. They want the antennas moved away from populated areas. But wouldn't that impact the quality of the coverage and make phones less useful? I'm curious to see how this turns out and if the issue will impact cell phone usage.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
