“I am a physician and a scientist having spent the past 35 years working on the epidemiology of cancer and to a lesser extent other chronic diseases. Over the decades, my focus switched from behavioral to environmental risk factors as I was confronted by the huge increase in cancer occurrence worldwide, not only in terms of burden of disease, but also in incidence rates after due consideration to the changes in population size and age structure.

Telecommunications: 5G is coming to Switzerland
Telecommunications: 5G is coming to Switzerland
By Celia Luterbacher, swissinfo.ch, 18 March 2018
Following a successful pilot project, Swiss telecom group Swisscom is ready to deploy 5G – shorthand for fifth generation wireless systems – at selected sites this year.

In a press release earlier this month, Swisscom said that it anticipates 5G coverage “throughout the Swiss territory” in 2020, adding that 5G-ready phones are expected to appear on the global market in early 2019.

Screen Time at Close Range Could Lead to 'Tsunami of Myopia' and Eyesight Issues
Screen time at close range could lead to 'tsunami of myopia' and eyesight issues
by Jesse Thompson, ABC Radio Darwin, 12 March 2018
Many people will remember being told not to sit too close to the television in the lounge rooms of their childhoods.
But today's parents would do well to warn their children not to position themselves too close to small screens, according to optometrist Helen Summers.
She warned that the use of the screens at close range for long periods of time could be leading to a generation of eyesight problems.
"We're actually facing a tsunami of myopia — short-sightedness," she told ABC Radio Darwin's Joel Spry.
"We have 4 million short-sighted people in Australia at the moment, but by the year 2050 we're looking at 22 million."

Despite the convenience and the enormous economic growth potential associated with the Internet of Things our primary concern as legislators is not convenience, nor economic growth. As much as I love technology as per our Michigan constitution the public health and the general welfare of the people of our state are supposed to be our primary concern."

The Tech Industry’s Psychological War on Kids
"What none of these parents understand is that their children’s and teens’ destructive obsession with technology is the predictable consequence of a virtually unrecognized merger between the tech industry and psychology. This alliance pairs the consumer tech industry’s immense wealth with the most sophisticated psychological research, making it possible to develop social media, video games, and phones with drug-like power to seduce young users."

“We called the police because she wrecked her room and hit her mom… all because we took her phone,” Kelly’s father explained. He said that when the police arrived that evening, Kelly was distraught and told an officer that she wanted to kill herself. So, an ambulance was called, the 15-year-old was strapped to a gurney, taken to a psychiatric hospital, and monitored for safety before being released. Days after being hospitalized, Kelly was brought to my office by her parents who wanted to get help for their troubled girl...

Maryland: Residents Worried about Small Cell Safety Have Been Waiting Years for Federal Guidance
Residents worried about small cell safety have been waiting years for federal guidance
By Ryan Barwick, publicintegrity.org, 2 March 2018
Cities ask the government for guidance on radio-frequency exposure — with no answer in sight.
In town halls and city council chambers across the country, local officials are facing the wrath of residents fearful of the next wave of wireless communications soon to sweep the nation.
They worry that the new technology — which will require hundreds of thousands of so-called small-cell antennas placed throughout neighborhoods — could cause adverse health effects because the antennas, located sometimes just a couple dozen feet from houses, will bathe their communities in round-the-clock radio frequencies.

Switzerland: The Digital Revolution Is Being Threatened
The Digital Revolution in Switzerland is Being Threatened
by Anouch Seydtaghia, Le Temps, 9 March 2018 (translation)
The Council of States has refused to relax an ordinance on radiation emitted by mobile phone antennas, jeopardizing the launch, in 2020, of 5G. The telecoms operators are furious, but health groups are calling for caution.
Only one vote was needed. By 22 votes to 21, the Council of States refused Monday [5 March] to relax the regulations on mobile phone antennas. Switzerland will thus keep an ordinance fixing the maximum values of non-ionizing radiation that are ten times lower than in the European Union. This vote of seemingly little importance could have major consequences on the digitization of the country, warns the telecoms operators for whom the deployment of the 5G network is now jeopardized. Their opponents state that the health of the population must take precedence.

by Marco Metzler, nzz.ch, 4 March 2018 (translation)
Evelyn Reimann has been suffering from the radiation of copper cables since Swisscom is has been using them for high debit Internet transmission. Today, the family is defending themselves legally and is ready to resort to litigation proceedings.
"I am being tortured," says Evelyn Reimann at the kitchen table of the one-family home of her father, National Councilor Maximilian Reimann. This 38-year-old woman is in bad shape. According to the family doctor, she is suffering from electrosensitivity. Since November 2015, she is hardly able to stay in Gipf-Oberfrick, Aargau. Swisscom is responsible for this.
Before the meeting, she asks us to only make calls in the case of an emergency. There, we place all devices in airplane mode. In the corridor, there is an unplugged cross-trainer. After a short stay at home, her condition worsened. "I have headaches, tachycardia and difficulties breathing. After two nights, I was exhausted," she said. "It was severe on the fixed phone. Then, I realized for the first time that something else wasn't right."

CONGRESS TOOK $101 MILLION IN DONATIONS FROM THE ISP INDUSTRY — HERE’S HOW MUCH YOUR LAWMAKER GOT
The FCC is about to give massive internet service providers the power to divide the internet. It is at risk of becoming unrecognizable. A vital global utility that has been a boon to creative and economic freedom for people around the world may be turned into a twisted land of tolls and corporate control.
The stakes are high. The internet now touches every town, every city, and every single one of us — whether we use it or not. Those who control the network control the future.
Comcast, Verizon, AT&T, and others spread their money far and wide to influence your government
