BBC Rules That Wi-Fi Radiation Findings Were Wrong

A Panorama programme claiming that Wi-Fi creates three times as much radiation as mobile phone masts was 'misleading', an official BBC complaints ruling has found. The team involved in the research came under fire from the school where the 'investigations' were held for scaremongering, but now the BBC has come out with an official ruling.

'The programme included only one contributor (Professor Repacholi) who disagreed with Sir William, compared with three scientists and a number of other speakers (one of whom was introduced as a former cancer specialist) who seconded his concerns.'

I'm not even sure if you can call stuff like that radiation.

yeah its all radiation which gets more dangerous the shorter the wavelength which is also needed to transmit more data so the faster we get the more dangerous it becomes i think :S
