i have with me the t-mobile council and one of t-mobile's engineering folks. we can also discussed exposure questions you may have. t-mobile identified a specific gap in coverage in the area surrounding grand avenue and greenwich street. these coverage maps were created using drive-test data gathered and compiled in the next few years. -- in the last few years. it reveals a large coverage gap in the neighborhood. t-mobile also received more than 40 miles from customers complaining about a lack of service in the area and demanding improvement. we have also received more than 400 petition signatures from residents, merchants, and visitors to north beach who support this project, and ask the commission to approve it as proposed. i believe a number of those supporters are here to speak today on behalf of the project. in identifying the coverage gap, we set out to find the least intrusive means of filling that gap. the alternative site analysis in your packet identifies alternative sites, but also discusses why it was not feasible for a number of reasons. none of t

i asked how t-mobile is in our neighborhood, as far as conductivity. "it is really good, but always could be better." this is the mantra of people with sell funds and connectivity on their mind, including the cellphone proponents and makers of intense -- of antennas, and the building owners to profit. there is a lot of money in it for them as well. it always can be better. does that mean the city of san francisco should invite 25 antennas on each building? to me, that is cutter. to me, who lives 40 feet away from one of the proposed sites, it is cutter to have an unnecessary and come on that side. -- it is clutter to have an unnecessary antenna on that site. no compelling case has been made for the need by t-mobile to have an antenna on the site, or any of the size proposed. they are doing it because they want to increase conductivity, because it always can be better. we all know it always can be better. but it is city government's job and will hear -- and role here to figure out, as was well articulated earlier today by commissioners miguel and moore,

we've developed partnerships with telecommunications companies, mobile operators, mobile device makers to really bring what we've done really good job in the pc windows world to the mobile world as well. so in 2011 we've really seen the mobile environment as probably our biggest threat. and, of course, from a security point of view we need to protect that threat. and we're focused on it, and we have a lot of solutions to offer the marketplace as a result. >> host: this is cell c-span's "communicators" program. our guest is dave dewalt of mca key. also joining us is jill eye tour row. >> host: we see a big transition to social media that's been growing all the more since, you know, wide spread in the last couple years. we saw a cover of time magazine, of course, honor the ceo of facebook recently. and at the same time there's also cloud computing which even the federal government now announced a cloud-first strategy. a lot of people question the security of both social media as well as cloud computing. can, can those two new mediums be secure? and is it a smart strategy for federal gove

i do not know if t-mobile has more or less. in the san francisco as opposed to los angeles or phoenix, -- which are relatively flat, i would expect that they need a lot more hills because -- and cannot -- antennas because of the situation. they need to switch between antennas depending on what part of the city they are in. in the northeast area, there are more antennas than whre the commissioner lives. it seems possible to me. in terms of this particular location, it seems that t- mobile's coverage, people could argue that it is not very good. it seems to fill in a gap. i am glad that they would go to the stockton street location. that definitely seem to be redundant given this particular location. >> commissioner borden. commissioner borden: i would agree with commissioner sugaya's comments. it would be great if we could look at the master plans or the five-year plans of the cell phone cos. the truth is that our purview of the commission is limited. we have to make a decision about this. in terms of the aesthetics, the micro s

>> we're seeing an explosion in mobile devices. you probably have new devices you have acquired in the past few months. we're seeing a tremendous explosion in new devices. apple has had the launch of the tablets and iphone. the world is changing very quickly, especially in large governments and corporations. what was once largely windows and endpoint devices, there now evolving too smart devices like tablets and phones. we're focused where the threat is. our goal is to protect whatever consumers or employees use. employees are using more of these types of devices. in the last six months, we have created a strategic imperative as the company to protect these devices. we have acquired two state of the art companies to do this. we have evolved our own product more focused on telecommuting. we've done a good job in the pc world and want to bring it to the mobile world. in 2011, we have seen the mobile environment have the biggest threat. we need to protect that threat. we're focused. we have a lot of solutions to offer the marketplace.

t-mobile has met all of the necessary requirements. there is nothing here that is extraordinary or exceptional that you have not seen before. i urge you to not have d.r. and approve the project as proposed. there were people that were opposed that attended that meeting. we do have a healthy debate. ultimately, they believe that this will provide the necessary improvement in the current cellular service in the neighborhood. and that the company will take the steps to minimize impact from the micro-antennas. we believe this meets all of the necessary safety standards. t-mobile has worked hard to make sure that these will not be visible from the street and design them to be with existing roofs. ultimately, it passed. we went to in north beach merchants meeting yesterday. at that meeting was another healthy debate. i think that group had more concerned about the industry as a whole and shaping future laws. that was helping the commissioners that brought up a comprehensive plan in the future about how to handle these things. here and now, w

we have a budget to control and in that budget, you will see our mobility policy. you can have your own expenses on infrastructure work, for instance, but in brussels, we also have an important policy on financing groups, social groups who are working on the issue. and i believe we should never forget to work on equity because we have those big social differences within our town. this is just shortly a slide that shows you what already has been polled, that denmark and the netherlands, they are in fact far ahead of all of the other european countries and belgium is somewhere in-between making an effort but for sure also at this trip, i have been able to learn a lot from my european colleagues in denmark and in the netherlands. brussels is in the heart of europe and i think it's also has been a very good thing that there is european regulations, although at this moment, european regulations are mainly on achieving certain environmental standards. let's say pollution by co2 and particles. but that has helped us as we had too high air pollution in brussels as it was s

. >> host: what's been the effect, clay shirky, of wireless mobility on how we use technology? >> guest: wireless mobility's quite interesting because wireless has exactly the same descriptive error in it as the idea of calling cards, horseless carriages, right? it is not, in fact, the lack of wires that's the most important thing any more than it was the lack of horses that made cars special. what makes wireless special is that we stopped having to think about access and think about space at the same time. it used to be if i wanted to use the internet, i had to go to a special room, sit in a special chair, sit in front of a special machine, and what having an android or smartphone does is it says you don't need to think about where you are to think about what you want to do. and one of the things that erases is this old notion of online versus off line, that online was a place where we went when we were escaping the real world. somebody asked me the other day how many hours a day do you spend online? that's not a question i'd been asked for a long time and i sort of struggled
