[MLB-WIRELESS] RE: SMH wireless article

Jason.

Good call, you are right about needing to stress the safety factor for the
general public. Would you like to write a brief paragraph with the relevant
information about outputs and then send it to the Melbourne and Sydney web
site managers so this information can be added to the FAQ.

Whilst on this topic do either of the sites have contact details for a media
representative should they have any enquiries? If not can the web site
managers add this and report back to the lists when this has been completed.


Cheers,

Dean

It's fair enough.  With all the hoohar about mobile phones, TV and radio
towers, powerlines and health effects, I would expect the plebs to be
worried about wireless capers and rightly so.  But, they need to be
educated about GSM/CDMA vs weak powered 802.11b.  I am sure some people
will take convincing that 802.11b is safe even though it operates at the
same frequencies as your microwave oven which _cooks food_.  Simply fobbing
people off with "just don't worry about it, we know what we are doing" is
patronising.  No wonder the hoi polloi regard scientists and engineers with
suspicion.
