If confirmed by subsequent research, the finding could lead tothousands of costly lawsuits by people with eye and possibly brain cancers.
Does anyone else find it somewhat disconcerting that the biggest fear this report seems to raise is that of law suits? Wouldn't it be better if this research led to the study of safer cell phone technology, rather than act as an excuse for "short-sighted" freeloaders to jump on a band wagon and sue their favorite cell phone company?
I would expect this sort of mentality from some parts of the world, but surely The Times would be above this?
We shall fight at the cable companies, we shall fight at the phone company, we shall fight at the ISPs and in the PCs, we shall fight in music stores; we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this Island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old.
