This is just another example of this Industry overriding any control by anyone. We already know that OFCOM/Gov/LA's/Charities are receiving huge amounts of money from them - so is it any wonder. And this is in addition to their implication in the Greek phone tapping scandal. What a record for a multi-national company to have...and why do people continue to patronise such a blatant rip-off?

Alarm set off heart attack

A schoolgirl died from a heart attack triggered by a mobile phone alarm - after medics failed to spot she had a rare condition.

Apparently healthy Kasia Ber, 17, collapsed at home just two weeks after teachers took her to a doctor when she suffered palpitations and breathing difficulties.

Informant: Sylvia

O2 made a preapplication consultation with residents in Baxenden, Accrington for an iphone mast. Following a public meeting, we rallied people to write and object, over 60 people did so. This was quite remarkable considering we had only about a week to respond. Apart from the normal health concerns, we decided to put them on notice by sending letters of intent to hold them responsible should anyone develop an illness due to the mast. Secondly we all threatened to boycott O2 and their services if they went ahead. We received a response that they would not proceed with this application at this time and would actively seek an alternative site, including the possibility to add this equipment to an existing mast.

Thanks also to Sylvia Wright in sending me information on Barrie Trower's reports.


Did anyone see the recent TV programme on Vanessa - Mae, the violin virtusoso?

In the programme, she was asked to sign her name and then asked to do it again with an electro-magnetic device close to her head. She was UNABLE to do it. The purpose was to show the part of her brain which controlled her musical ability. However, it struck me that all it succeeded in doing was to show how electromagnetic radiation instantly affects brain function. Maybe we would make use of this high profile demonstration to put pressure on our politicians to show the effects of using a mobile phone or living close to a mast?

Philip Parkin said he is worried about reports linking wireless technology with loss of concentration, fatigue, reduced memory and headaches.

I have just received an email from Daniel Kawczynski MP (Bicton mast) which (via his website) leads to this page: http://www.daniel4shrewsbury.co.uk/popups/news_template.php?dataID=2056. A little good I think – particularly the EDM.

A unanimous decision was recorded by Shrewsbury & Atcham Borough Council's Development Control and Environmental Protection Committee (DCEPC) last night rejecting controversial proposals for the erection of an Airwave Communications mast in the vicinity of schools and houses. A large group of local residents watched the debate from the public gallery in the Guildhall, Shrewsbury, and were absolutely delighted with the decision of the committee.

Flu pandemic, could the flu be the roll out of WIMAX? Is it right to continue rolling out untested and unregulated microwave technology? The Government need to urgently invoke the precautionary principle.

Read the following paragraph taken from an article called ³Radiation Poisoning of America², Idaho Observer by: Amy Worthington

Arthur Firstenberg, who founded the Cellular Phone Task Force, wrote that, on November 14, 1996, New York City's first digital cellular provider activated thousands of PCS antennae newly erected on the rooftops of apartment buildings. Health authorities reported that a severe and lingering flu hit the city that same week. In response to its classified newspaper ad advising that radiation sickness is similar to flu, the Task Force heard back from hundreds of people who reported sudden onset symptoms synchronous to microwave start up symptoms similar to stroke, heart attack and nervous breakdown. Firstenberg then gathered statistics from the U.S. Centres for Disease Control and analyzed weekly mortality statistics published for 122 U.S. cities. Each of dozens of cities recorded a 10-25 percent increase in mortality, lasting two to three months, beginning in the week during which that city's first digital cell phone network began commercial service. Cities with no cellular system start up in the same time period showed no abnormal increases in mortality.

There is also another petition, as mentioned in the latest copy of "The Ecologist" July/Agust issue:-

"We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to introduce legislation to require all UK schools to remove Wi-Fi installations and replace them with wired alternatives."

By Jane Gray.

It would be good if we could all sign up to this too.

Incidentally there are petitions to give students and/or the Public access to free Wi-fi! Great Not !

Why You'll Crash Your Car if You Talk on Your Cell Phone

A study has shed new light on why talking on a cell phone makes drivers prone to accidents. The study examined how having a conversation with someone who is not present competes with those parts of the brain needed to perform visual tasks.

Volunteers were asked to take part in a series of visual tests on a computer while listening to an informational lecture. They were then asked questions about what they had heard...
