SHOW INTRODUCTION There is a new wireless technology coming at you. Imagine that you live in a relatively pristine, quiet country environment accessible from a two lane blacktop road and suddenly, without your say, a new super-freeway appears overnight...with all its health implications. So you call the authorities and complain about the devaluation of your property, the noise, the dirt, the pollution, and they say that it’s for the greater good so it’s staying. It’s also like having all the cigarette smokers in the country meeting in your living room although you and your children are non-smokers and want to avoid this class one carcinogen. Again, when you call the authorities your concerns have no weight and the situation continues without your consent. Think I’m being over dramatic? Think new wireless techonolgies will make your life eaiser, more fun, and give you more control over your life? Then listen up. In this next hour we will be discussing WIMAX, including what credible scientists across the globe are worried about.
