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."

Ever taken a look at the frequency the cell phones use? The energy these photons carry is nowhere near the limits required to disrupt the molecular bonds in DNA (which is the cause of the "radiation sickness" including the radiation induced cancer).

It doesn't matter how intense the radiation is if the energy carried by the photons does not cross the threshold of actually doing something.
