The CBC reports that the First Nations of Manitoba want compensation for every cellphone signal that passes through their airspace:
Ovide Mercredi of the Grand Rapids First Nations says “When it comes to using airspace, it’s like using our water and simply because there’s no precedent doesn’t mean that it’s not the right thing to do.” This move may inspire First Nations in other provinces to follow suit.
The “right” thing to do? That has got to be the weakest argument ever…
