Chris Cantell Discusses Travel: Cell phones all over by Claudia Sonea

There are some places on this planet where cell phones or the internet cannot be used. Amazing as it may be, these places are not uninhabited or untouched by humans. For instance, Yellowstone National Park is such a place and it is under human administration, but the problem is for how long? On Tuesday, the park officials announced that they released a draft plan regarding the wireless services within the park.
Yellowstone's wireless communication plan is supposed to increase cell phone coverage in the 3,500-square-mile park. According to them the effects will be insignificants as the surrounding areas and park road corridors are forbidden to cellular towers, and they demand that larger developed areas to increase cell phone service and wireless Internet. However, one of the flaws that lead to this draft plan was that the most visited site of Yellowstone, Old Faithful geyser, had as neighbor nothing else than a cellular tower. Controversies stirred by this awkward location will be ironed out by the transfer next to a water treatment plant.
It is very encouraging to think that the places that once were meant to offer you peace and the perfect spot to contemplate and meditate will now be disturbed by rude people answering their cell phones. In spite of the courtesy politic the officials assured us of, most definitely there will be people that will not have any consideration for such things. There are pay phones along roadways inside the park, why would be there any need for cell phones? By October 31 you can express your opinion on the matter. Don’t let the technology to break through everything. Green power!
