Dead Zone Story

 There's a term occasionally brought up in Germany.....called Funklochrepublik.

Basically, it means 'radio hole republic', or  basically meaning a dead zone for use of cellphones.  

A fair number of Germans will tell you that they live in such a valley or region.  The number?  It varies upon who is telling the story.

Typically, it's a highly ruralized region, with 'hills' or mountains.  

I noticed this morning...the Telefonica Deutschland CEO saying that by the close of 2024....NOT a single dead zone will exist.  A lot of this enthusiasm goes to government programs to fund reception into the dead zones.

A big day, if it occurs?  I would suggest that the Chancellor probably will show up in the final village, and hype this to a five-star level.
