Vodaphone And Nokia To Develop A Cellphone Network On The Moon

RACHEL MARTIN, HOST:

Good morning. I'm Rachel Martin with some very far-out technology news. Vodafone Germany has announced it's going to work with Nokia to develop a cellphone network on the moon. The point is to allow high-definition streaming from the lunar landscape back to Earth as part of the first privately funded moon mission. It will be a 4G network instead of the state-of-the-art 5G because the 5G is still in testing and they're not sure it would allow for a stable connection on the moon because it's the moon. Can you hear me now? It's MORNING EDITION.


Florida  Woman  Pays  $493  Water  Bill  In  Pennies

page:direct audio:

The  utility  told  Dana  McCool  that  she  may  have  a  leak  but  a  plumber  didn't  find  one.  To  protest,  she  went  to  the  Deltona  Water  Department  and  paid  her  balance  in  pennies.

DAVID  GREENE,  HOST:

Good  morning.  I'm  David  Greene.  Dana  McCool  was  really  angry  about  her  water  bill.  She  owed  nearly  500  bucks.  McCool  says  her  utility  in  Florida  said  she  may  have  a  leak,  but  a  plumber  came  and  didn't  find  one.  And  so  she  decided  to  pay  but  also  protest.  McCool  went  to  the  Deltona,  Fla.,  water  department  and  paid  her  $493  balance  in  pennies.  I'm  not  going  to  lie.  How  exactly  this  punished  the  water  department,  I'm  really  not  sure.  Dana  McCool,  penny  for  your  thoughts?  You're  listening  to  MORNING  EDITION.
