It's been a few years, but IIRC I had poor reception on the Google Campus with AT&T. Some spots with poor coverage by SJC too. Probably folks are just always on

- mikeash 7y agoOne imagines that a hotbed of tech would have great cell coverage. However, it’s also a hotbed of NIMBYs and the sort of people who think cell phones give you cancer, making it hard to construct more cells.
- calotow 7y agoWhat are you talking about? There are cell towers everywhere. The CA senate in 2017 voted to remove local rights to govern their placement. 5G is rolling out everywhere. 5g radio transmitters on streetlights broadcasting continuously next to children's bedrooms. There was once safety concern over cell towers' placement. That is no more. We made the transmitters more powerful, but now they're smaller. So they go everywhere. "NIMBYS" have no say in what happens. It doesn't matter whether people think "cell phones give you cancer". The FCC doesn't care about anyone's safety. And people come on the internet rallying against some straw man they invented to showcase how silly it is to be concerned about the health effects of new technology.
