SHOW INTRODUCTION Lately, I've been alarmed by the proliferation of wireless technology in the form of new products that combine cell phones with cameras and messaging, computers that connect to the internet without plugging in anywhere, blackberries and palm pilots that are small wireless computers and many are marketed to children. Additionally, cities are contracting with providers to blanket municipalities with WIFI radiation and to install cell phone antennas on top of every building. I'm concerned because as a journalist I dig around and what I've discovered over several years is that the science IS adequate, it shows a broad range of very serious health effects ranging from skin cancer, leukemia, chronic flu like symptoms, persistent inflammation of mast cells in the skin and all over the body and gut, brain changes, even seizures. So why isn't it out in the news? Well....because parts of the industry are censoring its release. Very emmient researchers here and aboard are being harassed, their labs shut down, and their funding stopped. There are even laws on the books that favor telecommunication companies in disputes with citizens who want to protect their neighborhoods and their children. So I'm concerned and I want you to be also. Without consumer feedback the industry will never seek safer ways to deliver its useful and by now necessary technology. I have three guests today. We'll start out with medical journalist, Blake Levitt and in the second half we will hear from Jan Newton pres. of the EMR Policy Institute and independent film maker Doug Loranger who's film "Bad Reception" chronicles the struggles of the citizens of San Francisco.
