Canadian valley aims to keep cellphone-free quiet

According to Reuters.ca, a group of residents in the valley in southeastern British Columbia have asked telephone company Telus Corp. not to build a planned cellphone tower in New Denver, a one-time mining boomtown that is now home to about 600 people.

"If Telus decides against building the system, the economic development group plans to promote the valley's "cellphone free status" as a unique reason to visit or move to the region", Bill Roberts of the Slocan Valley Economic Development Commission said."
