Question: Which of these uses the most power: TV and radio signals, cellular networks or Wi-Fi? The answer is TV and radio, the signals of which are so much stronger that they are measured at an order of magnitude larger than those of mobile phones (dB-millivolts per meter against dB-microvolts per meter). A clearer comparison: A typical Wi-Fi router puts out a signal at around 3 watts. A typical FM radio station will output 10,000 to 20,000 watts. That’s all the background you’ll need to chuckle along with this report. Members of a Sante Fe group are claiming that they are “allergic” to Wi-Fi, and that failing to remove access points from public buildings amounts to “discrimination” against people with disabilities. Amazingly, an official enquiry is being conducted, but at least City Councilor Ron Trujillo has retained his senses. He told New Mexico’s KOB that “It’s not 1692, it’s 2008. Santa Fe needs to embrace this technology, it’s not going away.
