Uncontrolled 5G threatens quality of life

In 2019, the state of Florida passed legislation written by AT&T that limited the ability of local municipalities to govern the rollout of 5G.

While 5G provides “more data faster,” 5G frequencies do not travel very far. Telecom’s solution? “Small cell wireless facilities” approximately every 200 feet in public rights-of-way.

With competing telecom carriers and no requirement for co-location of equipment, you may have multiple pole installations in your front yard.

Here are the issues.

Health and human safety

Scientists in the study of electromagnetic field (EMF) and medical doctors from 42 countries have appealed to the United Nations and to the European Commission asking for a moratorium on the rollout of 5G based on hundreds of independent peer-reviewed studies demonstrating hazards associated with exposure to EMF radiation.

Despite the known health effects, the 1996 Telecommunications Act prohibits local governments from regulating wireless communications on the basis of health and human safety, yet industry has allocated zero dollars to safety testing. RF exposure limits have not been updated since 1996.

Aesthetics

“Small cell wireless” is a misnomer. The equipment may be up to 28 cubic feet in size and may be mounted on utility poles, street lights, bus stops and sides of buildings. It may also be installed in the right-of-way in your front yard.
