This is the grand flip-flopper of the wireless world if we`ve ever seen one. Perhaps once a year, a ``new`` study comes out from somewhere that either vindicates the no-harm use of cellphones (or more specifically, low-intensity radiation next to the head) or tries to completely destroy the concept of a cellular phone due to radiation concerns.

While there`s really no straight answer, I think this is a first. The EMR Policy Institute wants to block the upcoming June 29 advanced wireless services auctions by the FCC based on this radiation issue (or non-issue -- pick your belief) until there is a bonafide, controlled study on the long-term effects of low-intensity RF radiation. I`d love to see the control group in this study.
