To lay cable to remote areas would be prohibitively expensive since the number of customers served by such cable lines would be too small for the cable company to make a profit. Microwave cable service is a good alternative for use in remote areas because the signal is sent through the air and cables are unnecessary. However, microwave cable service should not become standard practice in non-remote areas, because the long-term effects of microwaves are not known.

Which of the following is the best conclusion to the statements above?


A. Microwave technology should be regulated by the government indefinitely.

B. Residents of remote areas must take precautions to mitigate the potential danger of microwaves.

C. Most residents of non-remote areas will not want to change their existing service to microwave service.

D. Microwave cable service is safe enough for use in remote areas.

E. Microwaves are potentially more dangerous in urban areas than in suburban areas.
