Fcc Opened Upwardly Missive Of The Alphabet Calls For Moratorium On Novel Commercial Applications Of Radiofrequency Radiation

Today the FCC sent me a recommendation to submit my comments on the Spectrum Frontiers proposal (see July eleven opened upward missive of the alphabet below) to an official proceeding on this issue.

What's the indicate since they already decided to approve the proposal? Besides they rarely e'er procedure submissions to these proceedings (e.g., see

Dear Consumer,

Thank yous for your email to Chairman Tom Wheeler expressing views regarding Use of Spectrum Bands Above 24 GHz For Mobile Radio Services. On behalf of Chairman Wheeler, I desire to assure yous that your input volition help inform the Commission's hereafter decisions.

There currently is an opened upward proceeding virtually this matter:  GN Docket No. 14-177, IB Docket No. 15-256, RM-11664, WT Docket No. 10-112 as well as IB Docket No. 97-95.  You may want to add together populace comments to this proceeding's record.  If so, yous tin sack search for the proceeding as well as submit your comments though this portal:  http://apps.fcc.gov/ecfs

FCC Votes Today on Opening Additional Wireless Spectrum for 5G


Suzanne Potter, Public News Service, July 14, 2016


The FCC volition vote today on opening upward to a greater extent than of the spectrum for novel 5G wireless technology. 

SACRAMENTO, Calif. – Today the adopted novel rules for spectrum inwards a higher house 24 GHz, inwards a vote that Commission Chairman Tom Wheeler described equally ane of the most of import decisions commissioners volition brand this year.”

"The FCC's determination opens upward 3.85 GHz of licensed spectrum as well as vii GHz of unlicensed spectrum to novel wireless uses. The novel licensed spectrum is inwards the 28GHz as well as 37GHz bands, as well as the novel unlicensed band is from 64 to 71 GHz.

In improver to opening upward the eleven GHz of spectrum, the FCC volition essay populace comments on making purpose of about other xviii GHz of spectrum inwards 8 additional high-frequency bands."

Open Letter to the FCC
July 11, 2016

Dear Commissioners:
In calorie-free of your upcoming vote on the proposed Spectrum Frontiers proceeding, I want to pull your attending to the International EMFScientist Appeal. The Appeal, which has been signed past times 220 scientists who published peer-reviewed query on electromagnetic fields as well as biological scientific discipline or health, calls for stronger regulatory standards for radio frequency (RF) emissions.

I likewise want to remind yous that the FCC has silent to act on NOI #13-84, "Reassessment of Federal Communications Commission Radiofrequency Exposure Limits as well as Policies," issued inwards 2013 as well as a similar NOI issued inwards 2003. The 2013 NOI has received to a greater extent than than 900 submissions--almost all telephone telephone for stronger regulation of RF radiation. Links to primal submissions tin sack live on found on my website.
Finally, the General Accountability Office issued a report entitled, “Exposure as well as Testing Requirements for Mobile Phones Should Be Reassessed” (GAO-12-771: Published: Jul 24, 2012. Publicly Released: Aug 7, 2012. http://www.gao.gov/products/GAO-12-771). The study made the next recommendations which bring silent to live on addressed past times the FCC:

FCC should formally reassess and, if appropriate, modify its electrical flow RF liberate energy exposure boundary as well as cellphone testing requirements related to probable usage configurations, especially when phones are held against the body. FCC noted that a draft document currently nether consideration past times FCC has the potential to address GAO’s recommendations.”
The FCC's RF standards were adopted xx years ago. Many scientists believe these standards are obsolete because they produce non protect the population from established, non-thermal risks from RF radiations exposure. Thus, to ensure populace wellness as well as safety, the FCC should committee an independent review of the biologic as well as wellness query to determine whether the RF standards should live on modified earlier allowing additional spectrum to live on used for novel commercial applications.

Sincerely,
