Globalstar beats terrestrial cellphones! gulfislands.net <Gulf Islands Driftwood Wednesday, January 19, 2005 By Driftwood Staff Salt Spring fire trustees picked satellite phone technology over a controversial cell-antenna option at their board meeting Monday night. Trustees opted to purchase two phones that can operate in moving vehicles, rather than lease the Ganges fire hall clock tower to Telus for a cell-antenna installation. “This is great. This is a victory,” said Chris Anderson of Island Residents Opposed to Cell-phone Antennae (IROCA) Tuesday. For the past seven months, IROCA members, some Ganges business owners and other individuals have pressured the Salt Spring Island Fire Protection District board of trustees to not sign a contract with Telus. Some 1,000 signatures were collected on a petition to the fire board opposing installation of a repeater that would have improved cell-phone coverage in the Ganges area. While Anderson said fire trustees voted for the satellite phone option because trials were deemed quite successful — not because they agreed with cell-antenna health effects information presented by IROCA — it was still a good decision. “From the IROCA perspective it makes a lot of sense and it spares us from the dreaded cell antenna.” Anderson and others also tested a 12-ounce, $1,000 Globalstar satellite phone last week, experiencing 40 calls “without any flaw” and in all weather conditions. But Anderson didn’t think the cell fight was truly over. “It’s been seven months of agony, stress and having to stick with this,” said Anderson. “But I know with the telecommunications industry, they will be back.”... > Mqurice
