[1st-mile-nm] Santa Fe Bill would HALT all residential / business WIFI installs

[Steve Ross]

Ah, yes... from the city where someone has sued his neighbor over
wifi/smartphone/whatever use. Is there a correlation between insanity and
living inside fake-adobe concrete homes? Or does the insanity perhaps come
from poor Qwest service?

>From where I sit (a few feet from the Atlantic Ocean, actually) the
spectacle of Santa Fe -- a city full of physicists -- getting bogged down by
this sort of nonsense is sobering. If it can happen in Santa Fe it can
happen anywhere, I guess.

Banning wifi is like trying to desalinate the ocean or to ban swimming
because our diets contain too much salt. Not only does one have nothing to
do with the other. It's physically impossible.

But watching a few nuts -- and they are nuts -- from a safe distance is
entertaining. I just don't want them to get too close. Dangerous to health
and all that.
