Why the rush to 5G?


The "race to 5G" is not really a race at all, except perhaps among wireless companies to see who can be first to market with their products and services. 

5G will not necessarily bring broadband to underserved or rural communities; fiber-optic cable is still required to do that. It will not solve the digital divide; 5G will offer faster download speeds, but it will come at a hefty price for consumers.  And 5G will not immediately improve cell phone service, or assist first-responders in an emergency. It's not required for autonomous cars. 

Then what's the real purpose of 5G? This massive build-out of "small cell" wireless infrastructure is to enable  telecom companies to beam their signals into homes and apartments without having to install a cable. It's that simple. 
While the industry hasn't done any studies on wireless radiation, independent scientists have. See the studies. 
The buildout will create a nationwide surveillance system capable of accurately tracking everyone carrying a cell phone. It will collect data on your location, activities, preferences and friends. 

It will impact real estate prices, as more people begin to understand the negative aspects of the technology. Homeowners with antennas on or near their property could see a significant decline. 


And of course, the evidence continues to mount that constant, long-term exposure to wireless radiation (the kind of exposure you would get with an antenna near your home) causes biological harm. Experts reviewing a recent study by the National Toxicology Program of the National Institutes Health found "clear evidence" of a link between exposure and increase risk of cancer. Who wants that outside their child's window?

Please join us in our national effort to stop the unnecessary and dangerous deployment of wireless antennas in our communities. 

Thank you. ​
