Dear FN You are correct, the issue will never be simple and each case will have its pros and cons. Infact on the mining issue my view would not be seen as pro development because mining has been taken over by rampant greed. However you actually back my underlying and argument of NIMBY when you say I would live with a "poor" signal. You forget it is coming from a tower near someone else. The tower near you may give you a better signal but someone else who does not have a signal will get a "poor" signal. In the current situation I will change my opposition to support if the agitators give up all their mobiles and depend on landlines. Also where were they when the tower came up in Tony Rex'place. That tower is in saligao but far enough.

I definitely don't think the arguments of the many concerned villagers are as simplistic or illogical as Blaise has made them seem. It's often not that simple a choice between for "development" and being "anti-development". Try telling the mining-ravaged villagers that they need to "sacrifice" something for the sake of "global development". For China's economic growth, our mineowners (and the politicians they create), or for US overconsumption. At the end of the day, if we in the middle-classes (and above) sacrifice a little of our limitless wants, it surely wouldn't hurt anyone so greviously. On the contrary, we might all end up having healthier lifestyles ourselves, and having more to pass around to those who don't have enough to live on. Yet, everyone speaks in the name of "development" and believes they're doing the planet a great favour! Personally, I would anyday prefer a *poor* mobile signal to potential hazards which are still only being properly understood. Better still, can we push for improved BSNL landline facilities, that have served us well even when these were in skeletal form in the early 1990s?
