All cellular handsets sold in the United Kingdom now include a tobacco-style health warning advising users to limit time spent on calls.

Many countries in Europe are considering a ban
on advertising aimed at children.

Base jumpers, (parachute) know they only have less than a minute at the top of a radio tower, to jump, before a headache will set in. And those are non-ionizing waves,
supposedly less harmful than next generation
technologies with higher data rates.

Granted the power level is less, but a little here and a little there, adds up.

I had a great office location till the landlady decided that she wanted another $700
a month from AT+T so they could put up this tower.
It's what they call a "multiple", where they get other wireless co's to lease a part of the tower. I decided to move.

If wireless phones don't kill you, something else will. Sure I may die sooner, but I have some important phone calls to make.

Personally I hate mobiles. I had one a while back but had it stolen. I no longer desire one. I find them antisocial esp. when on public transport or shopping. Peopl walk into you because they are talking on the 'phone and not looking where they are going. Often 'phones ring in the middle of lectures, here at uni! Just turn it off.

There are going to be no more payphones made in the UK because most people have mobiles. So eventually there will be no facillities for people who cannot afford or do not want a mobile. I fall into both categories.
