Hi Roy:

This item from "Wired News" may make you laugh (or might make you want to
cry),  but in any event, I think it will make you somewhat suspicious of
their motive
as I am.

Measuring the Cell Phone Risk by Elisa Batista From Wired News
3:00 a.m. Sep. 5, 2000 PDT

In a move to assuage fears that cell phone use can cause brain cancer,
three phone manufacturers are trying to create a standard to measure
radiation emissions.

Consumers may be misled to believe that lower specific absorption rates
(SAR) mean less risk to potential hazards, say officials at Motorola (MOT),
Nokia (NOK ), and Ericsson (ERICY).

They are concerned that new guidelines requiring the labeling of SAR levels
on phone packaging will lead consumers to believe that lower levels equal
lower risk.
