I helped Oak Park School District in Illinois fight a lawsuit from parents..
http://wifinetnews.com/archives/003988.html - the case was dropped... Since the school was using Apple Computers with integrated wi-fi, the District received support from Apple.. "Apple Computer petitioned the court as one of the defendants, the article cited above notes, about the company's contention that the court didn't have jurisdiction over the matter. The FCC recently reaffirmed in an unrelated decision that only the FCC can control the use of unlicensed Part 15 devices, and that landlords and other groups cannot separately regulate unlicensed airspace. While the issues are different, the basis of that decision is the same. The parents would likely have to sue the FCC over safety guidelines and win to achieve their goals."

Any vendor neutral studies that we can point to as 'expert testimony' to the harmless nature of the strength and frequency of 802.11x systems? I gather that this is another one of those issues like the affect of long term use of cell phones against the side of the brain... I notice this is becoming an issue for those cities/towns that are rolling out metro Wi-Fi service. Comments?
