Cell Phones On the Playa?

What's up with cellular phones at BRC? :!:

This is a horrible idea! I can't believe the board of directors of BM are embarking upon this big money making venture at BM!!!

Not only will the outside world now be a part of the BM experience via cell phones :shock: , but free enterprise is now expanding in the once sacred community that I thought previously was meant to example a merchandising FREE zone. :cry:

They are proposing to sell / lease the use of cell phones at the BM event and if people lose their equipment they will be charged a hefty loss fee $1500 for cell phone, + $140 for battery + more added on costs!! :x

Check out their Terms and Conditions below:

This whole event sounds like it's getty way too commercialized for my taste!!!

I hope there will be an open forum of protest on e-playa

As of this point, I am not going to BM this year. :(

Nothing seems to get people riled up like modern amenities on the playa!
