It was only a matter of time before someone stood up to the mind-bending might of the mobile phone companies who have all programmed our phones to ?5 year defrost? and are now just waithing for us to go “pinggg”. A Maryland neurologist filed an $800 million [√Ǭ£ much millions] lawsuit against the world’s number two cellular phone maker Motorola Inc as well as eight other telecommunications companies and organisations, claiming that his use of cell phones caused a malignant brain tumour.Dr. Christopher Newman, 41, said in the lawsuit filed on Tuesday in Baltimore City Circuit Court that his years of using wireless handheld telephones led to his brain cancer. Newman named Verizon Communications, Bell Atlantic Corp., Bell Atlantic Mobile Inc., Southwestern Bell Mobile Systems Inc., Washington/Baltimore Cellular Ltd., SBC Communications Inc., the Cellular Telecommunication Industry Association and the

Telecommunication Industry Association in the lawsuit. He also claimed compensatory damages in excess of $100 million and punitive damages in excess of $700 million.If the current UK split opinion is anything to go by, the case should certainly be interesting. On one side you have the big telco?s trying to blind people we ?Tangent Tech? and on the other side there is the government trying to protect the public whilst taking huge back-handers to allow another 3,000 relay masts to be erected in school playgrounds.Bring on the wireless war.
