Your notice says the Commission will give little weight to "unverifiable or repetitive testimonial submissions." That is offensive. Citizens are doing their best to connect the Commission's understanding of reality with the reality we actually live. Those reports are verifiable only if someone funds the work to verify them, and that is your job, not ours. You also ask commenters to "clearly describe their specialized experience and subject-matter expertise." Living with this technology every day is experience. Citizens do not need credentials to be heard by their government. The people are supreme here. Companies, CEOs, and their lawyers come and go, and studies paid for by the interests being judged deserve the skepticism you reserve for us. I ask the Commission to: 1. Hand safety to health experts. A spectrum regulator that promotes 5G and 6G should not grade its own safety homework. Set exposure limits with independent federal health agencies, and say so in your remand answer. 2. Update the limits. They are rooted in 1996 rules. The 2019 finding that "no changes are warranted" ignores the court's concern about how wireless has changed since then: near-universal phones, dense small-cell networks, and constant exposure. Reopen the limits instead of re-defending them. The court told you to address "technological developments that have occurred since the Commission last updated its guidelines." You cannot do that by looking only at a record that closed in 2019. 3. Protect children first. Test devices the way people use them, against the head and body and in pockets, and measure children's exposure separately with a protective margin. 4. Fund the studies. Missing research is not evidence of safety. Interior said in 2014 that no independent field studies of towers and birds exist. Fund long-term, independent human, wildlife, and environmental studies with no industry money, and treat citizen reports as a reason to study, not a reason to dismiss. 5. Push for lower-power devices. Set…
