You aren't getting the picture.  I'm nowhere near public service comms 
towers and the meter is an old one read by a person.  Think lands that

Cell phone and public service don't share the band with wi-fi at 2.4 
MHz.  That would cause interference with the cell phones and public 
service comms in a big way.
