The Nordic telecomm vendors are the same foxes that have preserved GSM wireless technology in the Euro-coop for years. They are keenly aware of the alternative CDMA technology that, by the physical laws of nature, produces far less cause for health concern. Following their WAP-flop, they are pushing GPRS, which actually multiplies emitted radiation. How’s that for initiative? The GSM cabal, led by the Nordics and by Vodafone, is responsible for the disastrous policy decisions to restrict 3G spectrum within the EU to a massively flawed technology path. Just look at the debt and job losses that have already been inflicted on the unsuspecting. China has proposed legislation to mandate emissions at half the level of Europe. Their MII, counterpart to UK’s Radio Authority, has labeled CDMA handsets as the “green” phone and a safer alternative to GSM’s. While CDMA is rapidly gaining market share on GSM in the free markets of Asia and the Americas, the Nordics have continued their efforts “to push the market” in exactly the opposite direction. What leads you to believe that any health-concern initiative will originate with these self-same foxes? Should you wish to probe more deeply, I am attaching a recent paper written by Benjamin Garrett who has far greater understanding of the technologies than I.
