My personal opinion is that the research findings MAY have some valid points, however, the data they have is way out-dated. We know that in the late '80s, people use mobile phones that put out several watts of radiated power. In the early '90s when cell phones were just starting to appear on the market, most of them were still putting out more than 1 watt of radiated power. We have heard of technicians who worked on LAN equipment while talking on the cell phone, and the cell phone radiation induced data error in the Ethernet lines. Those were the days when the cell phone transmitted too much power. In the last few years, the goal of achieving longer talk time, thus lower power consumption, and the use of low voltage electronics due to the widely incorporation of sub-micron transistors have limited the cell phone transmitted power down to low mW range. The research is so far behind the improvements in technology that their findings are out-dated by the new products on t!
he market today. Of course, I am not a medical expert in the cancer field, and I do not design or manufacture cell phones, so I certainly cannot speak for the experts in these areas. But I do know that these findings most likely are not applicable to the products out on the market today.

I heard the interview. The doctor appeared to dodge the question as to proof. He did say more research was needed (Ignoring this subject has already been extensively researched.). It appeared to be a blatant attempt to get research funding.
