Title: Wi-fi health fears are 'unproven'...
Post by: Lance on May 21, 2007, 13:36:29
...according to the BBC news artical here (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/6676129.stm).

Might be an interesting program on tonight: Wi-fi: a warning signal, Panorama, Monday, 8.30pm, BBC1.

I always find it slightly amusing when a broadcaster does a documentary on radiation. Why do they never look at the effects of their own microwave links and transmitters?  8)

No doubt it will be the usual biased cr*p that we have come to expect from the Beeb in recent years, based on half evidence from the " Land of the free "..  ::)

If we all sop doing what is rumoured to bad for us and live to the 100's, then we have a real problem, no money in the kitty..
