Canadian Telcos Agree on WiFi Hotspot Standard

Jucius Maximus writes "As reported by Globetechnology, Canada's cellphone providers have agreed to create a common standard for their subscribers to connect to the Internet via public "hot-spots." The agreement became necessary because Canada's cellphone providers offer four different and incompatible connection technologies. The carriers will continue to vigorously compete with each other, both for customers and Wi-Fi hotspot locations, the CWTA said in a statement."

Well, you've got a point there. I'm almost convinced all this radition we nowadays throw in the air isn't healthy. Thousands of years of "relatively" stable radiation levels, excluding some nuclear-related accidents/acts of war, have done us no harm.

But what will happen next? Within the next 20 years more and more wireless applications will come up and send out more and more signals. We just cant explain everything which happens to us humans, or the effect of things on us and the other living creatures on this planen.

So I find it very premature from some people to conclude that all this radiation is harmless. Maybe the braintumor rate will increase with 500% withing the next twenty years... who knows?

I certainly dont.. But I've shared my concerns with Slashdot ;)
