New City Provided Wi-Fi Banned Due to Crazies

exphose writes: "A small town in Northern California, Sebastopol (map), had made an agreement with Sonic.net to provide downtown wireless access via wi-fi for free to everyone. However, not everyone in this admittedly hippie friendly town was pleased. Why would anyone be against free downtown wifi access? Well apparently according to Sebastopol Mayor Craig Litwin, citizens had voiced concerns that "create enough suspicion that there may be a health hazard." and so they canceled their contract with Sonic.net. I found some more details at the here blog of Sonic.net's CEO for some more detail. What does Slashdot think of these petitioners and the claims of Wi-Fi health risks. Are there actually any studies anywhere that corroborate the risks or is it just a bunch of tin foil hat madness? How upset would you be if your city stopped it's rollout of free Wi-Fi or similar services due to such concerns?"
