1 edit |  And why doesn't this surprise me.....
First, there is no way that they are going to be paid for their "airspace" as use of a "natural resource" the nature of radio signals is such that they are a very high-pitch sound that noone on this earth can hear, and as such, is very hard to control and/or detect without the proper equipment.
Second, If they want kick-backs from the cell phone companies, etc. they should be required to rent the land for the cell phone companies to put up towers, as there is no way that they can charge anything for radio signals "bleeding" onto their land.
Third, if they win this case, it would just be precedent for the Canadian Government and the US Government to go after each other if they so desired, or any other government for that matter, as I know right around Niagra Falls you can send and recieve phone calls from across the borders, which coincedently, that carrier, whether it be a US/Canadian company, does not own the licenses for those frequencies across the border. My point is, the proposal makes absolutely no sense and should be thrown out if it ever makes it into the inside of a courtroom. | |

No, they are electromagnetic waves so they need no medium to pass through like sound waves do. If that were the case we would not be able to get light from the sun and we would not be here right now. If they wanted to block the signal they would have to construct a huge Faraday cage around their property, which is not very feasible. | |

| It doesn't really matter anyways, as I don't believe that they have a reason to complain unless of course they were going to roll out their own services on those frequencies, they should be glad that they have cellular and other services in the first place, not to mention that outside companies would probably end up having to foot the bill.
How hard would it be for the government to just split up this "fee" between the natives that subscribe to the service?
Another option is that the companies that are serving them should just pull out rather than screwing around with the bogus fees, let them provide their own services if they want, as they wouldn't have the services if we were not over here in the first place. | |
