Norwegian infrastructure appreciation post
I recently road-tripped from Stavanger to Sogndal, and all I can say is… wow.
I hope you all truly appreciate how incredible it is here compared to the U.S.
Back home, I lose cell coverage in random places all the time. But in Norway? I’m driving through a 20-kilometer tunnel, deep inside a mountain, with full 5G coverage.
Road quality too like there’s almost no pot holes (in comparison to where I live)
Considering Norway’s terrain and weather, it’s astonishing how well-developed and meticulously planned everything is. This country is on another level.
I just have two questions though:
What is the deeper explanation behind why cell service is so good here?
In the tunnels, what are the fans on the ceiling for? I assumed it was to keep air moving through the tunnel and also help with humidity? Maybe also help power the lights slightly?
Thank you!
