Coverage, Coverage Everywhere - But not (really) a Drop for You

Wow! I didn't realize this - there is literally nowhere in the US except National Parks and mountaintops that does not have some wireless coverage. And of course, there is global coverage via the satellite system.

That's a lot of radio waves, baby.

I was looking for places that would have low coverage, both for security reasons, and also to reduce the biological exposure load. Literally, there is nowhere. I thought moving away from NYC would significantly reduce my exposure and connectivity but apparently it doesn't.

The coming 5G rollout will vastly increase this coverage, both in terms of bandwidth and in terms of exposure.

It's creepy when you realize you can't get away from connectivity! It's one thing to want it - why doesn't my phone work? I'm stranded ! But another to realize you can't just go be one with nature, alone with your own bad self. And now there are silently (or "constitutive", to borrow a biological word) connecting devices. This means they are transmitting on the wireless system, doing their own thing (which is always uploading your private information, in one form or another). Yes, this is including your phone, which even with airplane mode on (yes! off!) is still connected - unless the GPS shows you to be at an airport. And including Alexa, and the newest appliances which now have (hidden or not) microphones -- and some have hidden video. Why does your stove have a hidden video camera? Or your car?

Which appliances, I hear you cry? Why, the newest, 5G running, microwaves, refrigerators, ovens, routers, smart bulbs, utility meters - all have hidden embedded microphones and some have hidden cameras too. And that's just a sampling. 5G is the door to unlimited spying. And explains why Ajit Pande is rolling it out to all cheers of the country, to the glee of those who want - indeed need - more rural service. It's a Trojan horse and they don't realize it.
