- Reported Illness Clusters Near Base Stations (Dec 2007)
There has been speculation regarding alleged illness clusters (particularly cancer) near mobile communications antenna sites (base stations). However, subsequent examinations by independent health authorities have been unable to confirm any true clusters linked with either proximity to the base stations or the low level radio signals they transmit. Rare diseases are often distributed randomly in the community and this means that there will be chance instances of apparent clusters as antenna sites need to be located where people use phones.
- Mobile Abstracts (Nov 2007)
The latest issue of Mobile Abstracts is available. This monthly newsletter prepared jointly by the GSMA and the MMF provides a brief update of recent scientific publications. The format is short with a summary of the article taken from the published abstract and a link to the paper itself.
- Building Mobile Networks: European Mobile Operator Responses to Public Concern
(Nov 2007)
In August and September 2007, Ovum Consulting surveyed all GSM Europe (GSME) Members in the European Union Member States and Switzerland to assess actions taken by mobile operators in relation to the GSME Recommendations on good practice for network rollout first adopted in 2001. The results of the survey show that mobile operators have taken many positive steps to address public concerns about network deployment.
