They had too....they were testing in Europe. A half-dozen labs would have gotten a half-dozen different results anyway. Every industry is self-regulated in this way. There is going to be a bunch of engineers looking for their FCC reports over the next couple of days..... Slacker

What a crock? Why don't they test Crosley black and white TVs like the one I had in the 50s. Just an almost completely irrelevant "report".

That they only tested analog rather than digital is inexcusable and shows not only their shoddy reporting but their agenda -- what were they going to do, come out with a story that said there is no risk? Obviously, they had to have a story. What was a joke was that they focus on Reynard, who started a lawsuit 6 years ago -- and he's deciding which model of cell phone to buy! However, the power of TV is such that they are bound to scare people; and on one level, they are correct: cell phones have not been conclusively proven safe. But their reporting stinks.
