cell phones

The decades-long ban on cellphones is to be lifted in New York City schools in two months, Mayor Bill de Blasio announced Wednesday.

A technology that uses discarded mobile phones to create a real-time alert system against logging and poaching will soon be deployed in the endangered rainforests of Central Africa.

In a 2-week span last August, 4 workers died from falls on cell towers across the country. Before the year ended, another worker had plummeted to his death.

Canadians pay some of the highest prices in the industrialized world for often terrible cell phone service.
