i lived in north beach and worked in richmond. i wish more people speaking for the dr could live in north beach and not leave. but i have to be able to communicate with the world. i do not need a call dropping because there is not an antenna within a certain range. two years ago, it was proposed that we have free wifi for san francisco. why didn't we? because of infrastructure. we did not have the communications ability for a company to sponsor that for the city. t-mobile is trying to do what some of the other cell companies are trying to do, established a network of antennas. these antennas put out less rf frequency of a typical police car on the street using its police radio. are we going to get rid of all the police cars because they are putting out too much rf? no. it is an inconsequential thing. we have children that need an education, children that need to communicate. we have people that need to communicate for business, for work, and for social reasons in general. how are we going to do that if we do not have a communicati
