5G will be deployed in Paris: "So much energy wasted in endless discussions on the ravages of progress!"

The honor is safe: Paris will not be the only big world capital deprived of 5G.

Operators will finally be able to deploy this technology in the capital ...

"And in several other large French cities that were reluctant so far. In Paris, 5G will probably be available around mid-March. What we have witnessed for several months, on the part of several green mayors and left, it is a fight very charged with ideology to demand at least a moratorium on 5G, even, for some elected officials, its ban. The new ecological mayors of Strasbourg, Bordeaux, Besançon and Lyon, among others, had made it so. a symbolic fight Last summer, the green party EELV justified its request for a moratorium by the fact that 5G would generate "a large inflation of electricity consumption" and allow "the collection of personal data".

They have since put water in their wine ...

Let's say that everyone has put in their work.

The operators skilfully played the concertation: there were citizens' debates here and there.

In Paris, for example, there were three debates over three Saturdays with 80 citizens from which fairly general requests emerged, for example on the recycling of smartphones, but obviously no ban on 5G.

The elected environmentalists who had gone to the front also had to face the facts: Strasbourg, Lyonnais or Parisians are like everyone else.

They want to be free to switch to 5G if they want to and it is difficult to see why a mayor could prevent his constituents from subscribing to this service.

It's like a mayor wants to prevent subscribers in his community from subscribing to Netflix or shopping on Amazon just because he doesn't like it.

The paradox is that the mayors who opposed 5G are at the head of important cities ...

Where, precisely, 5G is the most justified to unclog networks ... It was an additional absurdity on the part of these elected officials.

Because in their city, 4G will be saturated very soon.

It is hard to imagine Paris, which will host the Olympics in three years, deprived of 5G while the deployment of this technology is spreading all over the world - to the point that we are already experimenting with 6G.

Twenty years ago, elected environmentalists were opposed in the same way to wifi.

Imagine where we would be if they had been listened to.

Today, that is no longer the subject of debate.

The same will probably soon be the case for 5G.

So much the better, but what energy was wasted in endless discussions about the ravages of progress! "
