Dorny is obviously referring to health, and in this case, she is perfectly correct. The Dept of Health suspended all its regulations with regard to this radiation in 2002, telling the industry verbally at the time just to abide by the ICNIRP guidelines. These guidelines are explicitly only for short-term exposures of a few minutes. They are not adequate for 24/7 exposure to masts.

Industry spokesmen have said that they don’t like this unregulated environment, and have repeatedly asked the DoH for proper regulations. None are in sight.

If Harber had done a little research on this, he might have found the facts. I really challenge him to take a PROPER look at the cellphone industry and health in SA, and in the Third World in general, investigate the double standards, and say there is no problem. At the very least, we deserve the same health warnings.

And Harber can look at the copious evidence of microwave damage to trees, and come up with any other possible explanation for these charred pines in the middle of a residential area.

But the really funniest part is where Harber says that the industry is ‘regulated by Icasa’. Icasa have admitted that they have absolutely no clue what is being radiated out there, and they absolutely don’t care. I know from the most bitter experience that just informing us what technology is being deployed, is completely beyond Icasa’s capabilities. And this is well within their brief.

Everyone in the industry knows that being “regulated by Icasa” is just about the biggest joke in the known Universe.
