| hmm wonder what the hell the world did before cell phones.... oh, took care of business in person or made arrangements before leaving home...
people ought to be happy that someone decided to put the EXTRA of a cell network in a tunnel, not bitching that it was turned off in a limited area for a short period of time to dispel a protest and/or possible riot.
in all honesty, not having cell service shouldn't have any impact on a prearranged protest.... |

Wow, so you'd be OK if the government shut down a newspaper or a radio station, for just a day, to dispel a protest? How about this website? |

There is a major difference between a news paper, a radio station and then a cellular repeater.
In the instance of a news paper or radio station, or even this website, being shut down you are in fact silencing the collective "voice" of those entities.
Shutting down a cellular service is not silencing the "right" of an individual to express their speech. The cellular network was not the only option of speech nor did it stop the free expression of. Providing a cellular network is not a fundamental right.
You have your arguments in this thread way out of whack. |
