The new Yellowstone Park Wireless Communications Plan http://www.nps.gov/yell/parknews/08080.htm, which leaves the door open for placing Webcams in the back country and will, if approved, bring additional cell service to folks who want to stay connected, is spooking some who say solitude is being traded for technology.
“Yellowstone now aspires to be an amusement park,” said Bill Boteler, from Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility, a nonprofit group advocating responsible management of public resources.

The best part of my trip to Yellowstone National Park this past summer (2008)was the fact that cell phones did not work in most areas. What a joy to take in the incredible scenery and savor its beauty without some one yakking on the phone! I was on vacation....no TV, no radio and no cell phone! What a luxury in today's world of unnecesary noise. If you can't go to Yellowstone without being "in touch", then stay home. --barbara madison
