Continuous Closed Traffic Approved

With GA traffic down so far in many parts of the country, there are a
LOT of controllers with nothing much to do. When flying mid-week
through Waterloo and Cedar Rapids, Iowa, airspace, we are often the
only (or, at most, one of two or three) aircraft they may be working.

Those guys would have to have the internet, or an X-Box, or SOMETHING
to keep their sanity, under those circumstances. Does it really make
sense for them to make the last guy left in their airspace report his
base leg every time he goes 'round the circuit?

Our traffic count is the lowest on weekends. We have internet in the
tower now, all facilities do.
