> I am deeply saddened

If a complete stranger's personal choices about internet access deeply sadden you, you might want to consider some therapy.

You might want to consider reflecting more on how technology changes the world far beyond personal choices.

Behaviors that were opt-in become opt-out. Behaviors that were opt-out become mandatory.

Think about how cell phones or social media changed social etiquette. Even if you opt out of those things personally, you're still living with the changes.

Admittedly this won't have an effect so widespread, but for those of us who spend a lot of time out in the mountains, deserts and forests where there is no service, I'm certain we'll see an effect.

I'm not sad because some guy somewhere will check his Slack messages on a hike. I'm sad because of how this will change the world.
