Readers - even from countries far away - are invited to comment on providing free public wifi areas in Switzerland directly on the swissinfo site. Electrosensitive persons such as myself cannot go out into the streets of Geneva without feeling unwell.

There are antennas and wifi everywhere, including in parks, libraries, theaters, sports' arenas, hotels, postal buses, and even hospitals. The authorities remain deaf and dumb to demands from electrosensitive and other concerned citizens regarding creation of "white zones" or using wired connections in order to shield them from being saturated with harmful electromagnetic waves, 24/7. I am about the only person in Geneva trying to raise awareness of this issue and would appreciate some help!
