SpaceX tech expert and owner Elon Musk is thrilled to fulfill his dream of providing satellite-powered Internet to Earthlings. However, he was struck by the understanding that not everyone is as happy as him.
Musk needs to install antennas worldwide to establish the connection you want for Starlink satellite internet service.
Residents of a small French town, however, have opposed Musk using their land to fulfill his dream.

Saint-Senier-de-Beuvron has asked Musk to keep these new antennas far away from their land because they fear the signals could harm the residents.
“This project is completely new. We have no idea about the impact of these signals,” Noemie Brault, the city’s 34-year-old deputy mayor, told an English channel. “As a warning, the city council said no.”

While Musk hopes to deploy thousands of satellites to bring fast internet to remote areas around the world. For this, it needs to place antennas on the ground that will help capture signals and kick it back to the individual cable-connected use points.
The contractor had apparently already obtained permission in France from the installation of nine of these radomes which would be three meters high and protect the antennas.
However, in December Saint-Senier issued a mandate to prohibit construction of the field, for technical reasons.

“That worries us because we don’t have data,” Brault said of the impact of symptoms on residents’ health. “And when you hear that he wants to chip into people’s brains, it’s scary. . “
Greens council member Francois Dufour agreed with the decision and asked, “Social networks, internet, they already exist – why do we need to look for internet nets on the moon? “
Some farmers also fear that due to the signals of the antennas, the cows may start producing less milk. However, some have also started naming the calves based on Musk and his company – one of them as SpaceX du Beuvron.
