After the Earthlink/Google deal fell apart, Mayor Newsom took the matter of free city-wide WiFi directly to the people with Proposition J. The Opponents of J bring up several great reasons why Prop J isn’t the best idea. From the voter guide:

• Why should San Francisco turn over its public infrastructure to private corporations for their profit at our expense?
• Proposition J does not restrict a vendor like Google from monitoring users’ web-surfing habits.
• San Francisco already has a fiber optic network – let’s use and extend that instead.
  

BEWARE— NOTHING COMES FOR FREE!

Your HEALTH is AT RISK.

Are San Franciscans to be guinea pigs in a “blanket”of radiation?

Independent scientific studies show that radiation at the levels proposed is associated with increases in these negative health effects:

• cancer
• headaches
• dizziness
• sleep disturbances / insomnia
• childhood leukemia
• nerve damage
  

The wireless industry funded its own studies saying not to worry, just like tobacco,oil and pesticide companies. Who are you going to trust?

Fiber optic broadband is safer and more reliable.

Vote NO to WiFi radiation.

Someone should have paid to include this comic by Wellington Grey in the voter guide.
