Yesterday I happened to visit Gander, Newfoundland for 13 hours.It is a small town with an airport that has a couple of long runways.
Unbelievably it has no mobile telephone service.This caused some consternation to some of my colleagues who have never experienced it before.I also found it quite hard to believe that my tri-band phone wouldn't work but then after a while I began to feel quite liberated from this electronic leash!
They did have broadband in the hotel at a speed of 100mb though!!.Is there anywhere else that doesn't have mobile coverage in a town?
