The BBC has a great article on the National Radio Quiet Zone – 13,000 square miles (34,000 sq km) of radio silence.

Not only are there no mobile phones, there are no baby monitors, microwave ovens or wireless doorbells, yet they have boradband access, their own radio station, and a quality of live we’ve all but forgotten.
