Alan,
My own feeling is that you can't overcome these perceptions.

As I understand it, the only way we can ever be sure about mobile phone radio waves is if statistical research builds up, showing a clear correlation - as we got with cigarettes and health - between exposure and illness.

So far, there's no such data, just fears.

We can't provide the data, but we can, at least, reduce the fears. Making the phone transmitters less powerful would be one positive thing to do. And making them less conspicuous would mean that people wouldn't fear the impact on the property prices.

What else is possible? We can't disable the mobile phone networks!

 

just read your wireless news, seems like a good idea, but how do you overcome questions and perceptions of additional local radio waves damaging health?

Regards and good luck,

Alan Westmuckett

Call me cynical* but I think we aren't going to resolve the question of whether mobile phones are a danger to health any day soon.

But I do think we can stop it being quite as much of a problem, if we stop making the masts so conspicuous, or so big!

Is that sweeping the mess under the carpet?
