CTIA Sues City of San Francisco Over Wireless Law
About time!
We can blame carriers all we want, but carriers have no chance of improving coverage if the city won't let them.

I don't think that the SAR rating has much to do with reception. I mean, some phones with higher radiation ratings tend to do a bit better on reception, but that's not a 1:1 ratio there. So I fail to see how being required to report a phone's radiation rating has anything to do with improving coverage.
Funny thing is, they're so full of themselves, that they won't dare venture out of SF to buy their cell phones into the evil suburbs. Of course, venturing out only to work their change the world tech jobs doesn't count.

😉 Yeah! And their phones are all bought for them by their companies anyway, so what's the big deal?
I think the CTIA is just worried that people are going to see the label as a "surgeon general's warning", rather than just some hippie's way of being helpful to consumers. The auto industry had the same reaction when the lead warnings went up.
I'm going to petition to get a bill passed that requires newborn babies to have a warning label that reads, "Caution, being alive increases the risk of cancer!"
You know, it's kind of funny when I read about how studies done later on usually reveal that these kind of preemptive safety laws usually don't have the intended effect. Sometimes they even transfer the risk to an unaffected party(ie seat belt belt laws causing more pedestrian injuries).
My personal opinion about tobacco companies is that they don't have the balls to be honest about their product, so they keep caving into government demands.
But that's just this one nutjob's opinion.

So much for personal responsibility...
So where do I get in line to sue?
🤣
