For what its worth...
Recently, there was a press release on ABCNEWS.COM concerning new
research being done in the UK on the safety of cell phones. Reading
this, I began to get worried that my use of a digital cell phone could be
affecting my health. I use one pretty heavily.
I have had service with Airtouch for about 4 years and began service with
them when digital was still in the development stages. I used an
analog phone which broadcasts on the 900 MhZ band. At that time, I
was sufficiently concerned about holding a radio emitting device to my
head and used an attache phone, which allows me to install the phone in
my car and hook it to an external antenna and hold a handset to my head
without the fear of being radiated by the phone. I used the analog
phone service until Airtouch practically insisted that I switch to
digital. With great reluctance, I did. They assured me that
the digital phones put out such a small amount of energy that they were
safe to use.
Following the press release, I decided to switch my service back to
analog and use my attache phone again. When I called Airtouch, I
was told that the price of analog was too expensive and they set me up on
a plan that is excessively expensive.
My complaint to them was: They are forcing people to use digital phones
despite the strong possibility that they are dangerous to our
health. They are using price manipulation to assure that people
don't use analog service which, in my opinion, is not quite as dangerous
as the digital phones which broadcast on a frequency above 1
gigahertz. You will also notice that no digital phone comes with a
handset or the ability to operate external to your vehicle like an
attache phone without spending $250.00 for a car install. This
still does not allow you the ability to use the phone without an external
microphone and speaker which diminshes quality. If you want your
phone call to be personal, you still have to hold it to your head where
you get a dose of the energy emitting from the phone.
I am a member of the press. I am planning on using whatever
resource I have available to me to take these greedy companies to
task. My belief is that they should make analog service available
to their customers at a comparable price to the digital. Thus,
people can minimize their health risks by using phones such as an attache
phone.
The research that is being done is quite compelling that there is
significant health risk to people who use digital phones. The large
carriers like Airtouch are trying to cash in on the thing before the
hammer drops. It is a sad day when the value of human life is
relegated to profit with these large companies.
People had better wake up and realize that this world is becoming smaller
and smaller when it comes to what we consume. As the big fish
swallow up the small fish, competition and free market begin to
suffer. Consider that the prices of gasoline, food and other items
that we consume are becoming more and more expensive. The law of
supply and demand still rule. Send a clear and strong message to
these multinational corporations by exercising your power over
them. Don't buy, complain and demand that they listen to what we
have to say.
