Wi-Fi 'Allergy' Makes Waves
May 26, 2008
Experiencing prolonged chest pains? Maybe you're allergic to your wireless Internet signal -- or at least that's what a group of citizens in Santa Fe is alleging. New Mexico's KOB-TV reports that the group has complained the city is discriminating against them because they will not ban Wi-Fi from public buildings.
Arthur Firstenberg told the station that he is highly sensitive to certain types of electric fields, including wireless Internet and cell phones. "I get chest pain and it doesn't go away right away," he said. Firstenberg and others say public Wi-Fi is a violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act and the city attorney is checking into the situation.
