The FCC says it operates under a "Public Interest Mandate", however by ignoring mounting evidence that radio frequency radiation is harmful, it is not fulfilling that mandate. There are many, many scientific studies that provide evidence that this technology is harmful. FCC should have exercised the Precautionary Principle ("When an activity raises threats of harm to human health or the environment, precautionary measures should be taken even if some cause-and-effect relationships are not fully established scientifically") when cellular technology was first being introduced instead of believing the industry "experts" who were just interested in selling and expanding this technology as fast as possible. My job required that I used a cell phone as soon as they became widely available. I now have a brain tumor behind my right ear - exactly where I used to hold my cell phone to my head. The technology is dangerous and it is the job of the FCC to exercise its "Public Interest Mandate" and protect the public and not cave to the interests of corporations who just want to make a buck even if their products are harmful - sound like the tobacco industry? There are many experts in this area that can provide technical guidance and guidelines to the FCC. Some suggestions may include limiting cell tower locations, limiting the RF power of cell phones, requiring wired internet access to all homes, requiring copper wire land lines in all homes, the list can go on and on. Please have the courage to protect the citizens of the US.
