Seoul toughens rules on cellular phone radiation planned Amid growing concerns about the potential health risk of cellular phones, the Ministry of Information and Communication said it plans to introduce a strict regulation on cell-phone radiation levels. The ministry said it considers applying a new rule as early as January 2002 that calls for a SAR, a standard for measuring cell-phone radiation levels, to be below 1.6 watts per kg. SAR is the process of measuring the amount of radio-frequency energy that is absorbed by human tissue. The United States, Canada and Australia established a level of 1.6 watts per kg of human tissue as the highest amount of radio waves a device could emit. Japan and European nations call for below 2 watts per kg, according to the ministry. The measure is designed to meet the growing calls by civil organizations for a stricter regulation on cell phones' effect on health. But the ministry has decided to put the rules in place one year later to appease mobile handset makers who strongly request delay of implement. 2000.11.29 koreaherald.co.kr

Ben: Thanks for the informative posts this morning (and other days as well). Since my memory is not the best, would appreciate a link or an url or any way you could most easily update info on these two situations. Seems like in the dim recesses of my memory, I recall CDMA mobile is banned completely (i.e. illegal) in Russia, although CDMA WLL is permitted. Also have read that Motorola intends to build on its major participation in Asia, viz. this story re: Korea. If so this would imply (as this story does) full participation in 1X, 1xEV, CDMA 2000 in all forms, and WCDMA. Not clear what Motorola is licensed for as of now. Is a reference to gaps, if any, in MOT's licenses available? And isn't this story an example of why MOT must obtain the full set of licenses from the Q at some point soon? Any guesses on timing? TIA Best. Chaz
