My Dad says:

"You know me, I just have a glowing personality."

And:

"It's called frequency re-use. The same few frequencies are used every few miles. Now that it is all digital, it is all digitally encoded. They are all different and they are low power. So, the same frequencies are being used here, and 45 miles away from here but they don't interfere because they are far enough apart. They are very low power like 1.2 watts max."

That doesn't really make much more sense to me than it did before, but I bet you are not as blonde as I am!

Oh, I have a question. I read the article and it said that 2 billion people on the planet use a cell phone.

Now if all of these phones have frequences and cell towers and they are pinging back and forth off of these cell towers, well. HOW COME NO ONE CAN HEAR OTHER PEOPLE'S PHONE CALLS??

I mean, 2 billion people have cell phones. That means there is 2 billion people having phone coversations with other people. Even if you cut that in half and one billion people are talking to the other one billion people, well, are there one billion frequencies???

I would LOVE to understand how the cell thing works and how come no one can infringe on another person's call??

Not such a dumb question!!!
