Subject: Infuriated parents to protest cell tower placement at
Wyandotte elementary school
WYANDOTTE (WWJ) - A group of concerned Downriver parents are gathering
Friday morning to protest a T-Mobile cell phone tower and generator
that appeared right on top of an elementary school earlier this month.
While organizers say the event will be peaceful, it comes after weeks
of mounting frustration, explosive meetings and safety concerns
expressed by residents and parents regarding the controversial
location of the 5G tower that will be soon be activated.

Subject: T-Mobile and Verizon Take Different Paths Down a Dark Road
T-Mobile, AT&T, and Verizon all claim to be the best, but a major
watchdog has big questions.
By Daniel Kline
Most wireless ads involve one company claiming to be better than its
rivals.
Some of those assertions are based on surveys, and when you look at
the data, in some ways AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile all have viable
claims to the throne. But the winner truly depends on which data you
choose to highlight.

Subject: Plan To Jam Mobile Phones In Schools Is Madness
By: Lewin Day
Mobile phones in schools. If you’re a teacher, school staffer, or a
parent, you’ve likely got six hundred opinions about this very topic,
and you will have had six hundred arguments about it this week. In
Australia, push has come to shove, and several states have banned the
use of mobile phones during school hours entirely. Others are
contemplating doing the same.
In the state of New South Wales, the current opposition party has made
it clear it will implement a ban if elected. Wildly, the party wants
to use mobile phone jamming technology to enforce this ban whether
students intend to comply or not. Let’s take a look at how jammers
work in theory, and explore why using them in schools would be madness
in practice.

Lame excuse.
When I was doing microwave work for MCI, we had one site that the
engineers knew could be completely inaccessible due to extremely heavy
snowfalls. I cannot now remember the location. The shelter could be
buried so deeply in snow that it could not be reached through the
normal access door. I only saw a picture of this site. I never
actually visited it.
They built an upward crawl tower in the roof of the microwave shelter.
It extended high enough [above the shelter] that the top would always
be above the snow level. There was a locked door at the top.
An engineer could unlock that door and climb downward into the
shelter. The result was that the field engineers could always get
inside of it even in the worst possible snow weather.
I'd say T-Mobile engineers were not thinking about the weather
elements at that tower location [when they designed the site]. If
they had been thinking about that, the field engineers could have
accessed the site even under these conditions.
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!
