City-Provided Wi-Fi Rejected Over "Health Concerns"

Posted by kdawson on from the just-put-on-the-tinfoil-hat-and-it-will-be-all-better dept.

exphose writes "A small, hippie-friendly town in northern California, Sebastopol, had made an agreement with Sonic.net to provide free Wi-Fi across the downtown area. However, not everyone in town was pleased with the arrangement. According to Sebastopol Mayor Craig Litwin, citizens had voiced concerns that 'create enough suspicion that there may be a health hazard' and so they canceled their contract with Sonic.net. Some more details are at the blog of Sonic.net's CEO."

    Look on the bright side. Now we won't have a bunch of freeloading hippies clogging up the tubes.
