IN FOCUS: A new World Health Organization (WHO) study has sent waves of surprise through the science community, seemingly reversing the WHO's position on EMF's health effects. More than ten years ago, the World Health
Organization’s (WHO) International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) published a monograph concluding there was limited evidence in experimental animals for carcinogenicity of Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Field (RF EMF). The objective of the new review commissioned by the WHO International EMF Project was to systematically evaluate the effects of RF EMF exposure on cancer in animals.

Cancelling WiFi in Libraries & School Buses
Legislators moved to cancel off-campus hotspots in libraries and schools this month through a Congressional Review Act used to
overturn a federal agency ruling. The Wi-Fi hotspots had been implemented in July 2024 by former FCC Chair Rosenworcel through the Learn Without Limits program (LWL). LWL tapped into the $2.6 billion E-Rate program to fund not just Wi-Fi hotspots in libraries but also Wi-Fi on public school buses. That means no EMR on the buses. This program had come under scrutiny after it was the subject of a lawsuit in 2024 by anti-bullying
advocates in Molak v. FCC.

Two Children Dead Because of illness tied to Cell Towers?
Two children who attended a Liverpool primary school died after an infectious outbreak after exposure to cell towers. Liverpool has the largest 5G network in the UK and the second largest in the world. EM Radiation Research Trust is investigating the link with 5G towers next to the school.

#M A W A Make America Wired Again
HR 1870 Speed for BEAD - Bad for Wired BB
HR 1870 conflicts with the MAHA imperative and the National Call’s recommendations bring it into alignment, remove digital red-lining, preserve states’ discretion over service quality, consider the higher costs of wireless, remove language discriminatory towards wired broadband, and incentivize FCC compliance with congressional mandates and court order.

Amazon Joins Satellite Race
Amazon has officially entered the satellite broadband game with the first major deployment for Project Kuiper, its internet-from-space initiative aimed squarely
at competing with SpaceX’s Starlink. Amazon plans a 3,200-satellite network at 280 miles up, slightly below Starlink’s 340-mile altitude.

AZ After citizens raised concerns about the design and location (next to a school & daycare for the disabled), the city of Gilbert granted a conditional permit citing over 200 ft. boundary. FL After complaints from Naples citizens, Collier County opted not to build a tower near the Everglades National Park. FL After a year of asking, Kendall, Miami-Dade citizens finally received a copy of the Radio Frequency Emission Report from Crown Castle and plans for what was being built in their community. MA Well-known telecom attorney, Andrew Campanelli's testimony helped defeat a cell tower plan in Greenfield, MA. MI Plainfield Township’s Planning Commission has granted a permit for a 165-foot cell tower off 10 Mile Road NE, despite protests from neighbors stating the addition would ruin backyard views, clog a private drive and plummet property values. NM Magistrate Court ruled that the Mesilla city must allow a cell tower despite historic boundaries codes because of civic loophole.
OH AT&T filed a lawsuit against Columbus, OH, accusing the city of
"illegally" blocking plans for a 5G cell tower near the Moore Creek soccer complex. The city is defending its block.

The NTP Study remains the gold standard of the EMF research to date, proving as it did that cell phone radiation causes cancer and brain tumors. |
704 No More™ is a nationwide coalition effort to restore state and local control over cell tower and antenna siting by overturning Section 704 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996. Section 704 prevents local regulation of wireless
infrastructure based on health and environmental effects. 704 No More™ advances its mission through strategic litigation, public education, grassroots mobilization, and legislative advocacy.

INTERNATIONAL NEWS & ADVOCACY ACHES Report from the UK Nicholas Martin: on the lack of attention to people with metal implants… (Photo by Pavel Danilyuk)
“The key to understanding the current state of Telecom Mast [called cell towers in US] adjudication in the UK, lies in the misconception that officers and councillors cannot include health factors when they are considering telecom mast planning applications. This is a most profound and
fundamental misconception, and it was drawn attention to in the Supreme Court by Lord Gill who reprimanded the Suffolk Coastal District Council for treating the NPPF as law, and when it is not.” (Suffolk Coastal District Council v Hopkins Homes Ltd) ICNIRP is the regulating authority in the UK whereas the FCC is in the US. Nicholas further
points out that ICNIRP excludes many people such as those with metal objects/implants in the body, prostheses, or medical device implants (pacemakers) – though EMI (electromagnetic interference) effects are of a “technical nature and do not fall within the remit of ICNIRP.” Further, as more information is disclosed, and the public becomes more aware of the independent science that shows “carcinogenic and other deleterious
health effects that are generated through non-thermal pathways”, questions will arise as to why officers and councillors chose to adhere to ICNIRP’s “thermal metric.” “The public at large are about to be educated about the non-thermal effects of telecom mast radiation.”
