this is wireless gone mad!

with the long and even short term effects of wi-fi on health being ignored by the government for reasons of profit over health do we really need to flood our homes with it?

wi-fi already travels through walls from your neighbours houses into yours. If we all use this proposed technology, we'll have no escape [anywhere] from its effects, and will have no control over whether we have it in our homes or not! Consider that most people are too lazy (or stupid) to turn it off at night (or during the day) when it is not being used, and you quickly realise that we are now surrounded by it day and night.

What happens when it is proved beyond doubt that wi-fi is bad for us? If we introduce these proposals it will be too late to do anything about it.

Removing asbestos is still a growing job market, and how long have we known about its devastating effects? Smoking is still a massive problem, why? because the governments believed our health was not as important as business, and like it is doing with wi-fi, toned down, criticised, and even geared the tests towards ambiguous results. Before we get sensible health results we'll have it everywhere, in every shop, every home, every pub! Now try removing it!

Bear in mind that when you disable wi-fi, in 90% of devices (the PS3 40Gb is a rare exception), you do NOT turn it off. You just disable its receive function, rather than turning off the transmit. Lazy and cheap design and programming! The ONLY real way of making sure it is off, is by physically turning off the power to it.
