YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK, Wyo. (KGO) -- Park officials are considering bringing streaming wireless deep inside Yellowstone Park.

That prospect is reigniting the debate over whether there should be any place off limits to technology.

Environmentalists say nothing should distract visitors from the park's natural wonders.

In the digital age, however a lot of people want to take a picture and immediately post it. And that means a fiber optic line is needed to improve connectivity.
