WiFi in France
Hey dear fellow readers – I wanted to share this stupid beliefs that we have in old Europe (France?). WiFi gives headaches ! For real ! And in Europe we’re so stupid that when a bunch of lazy public workers in public libraries yell that putting a WiFi Hotspot in their library give them headaches – they got it removed. Honestly this is depressing to see those uneducated guys that manage to get global knowledge banned from their dusty places…
A few facts : in France, WiFi Hotspots can never emit more than 200mW. Emission is unidirectional, thus powers decreases in 1/r^3. The Librarian is usually sth like ten meters away from the access point – thus gets less than a couple of mW in their heads. If he forbids WiFi than I don’t want to see him use a cell phone or a microwave oven (several hundreds Watts – over one MILLION tmes more radiations).
Meanwhile, in the rest of the world, there is Municipal WiFi and Community WiFi (Fon, Meraki…).
