Research and Markets: Fear of Cellphone Radiation: Risks and Opportunities for the Telecommunication Sector.DUBLIN, Ireland -- More than a third of the mobile telephone users are concerned about the health hazards health hazard Occupational safety Any agent or activity posing a potential hazard to health. Cf Physical hazard. posed by cell phone usage This study on the effect of the electronic smog debate in Germany shows in detail the risks and opportunities arising for network operators, manufacturers of end-devices and infrastructure manufacturers (transmitters). In three scenarios an extensive quantitative simulation were quantified of the impact on sales and costs for the telecom industry. Scenario 1 "Without restrictions" forms the starting point Noun 1. starting point - earliest limiting point terminus a quo commencement, get-go, offset, outset, showtime, starting time, beginning, start, kickoff, first - the time at which something is supposed to begin; "they got an early start"; "she knew from the of the assumption that the debate on the health risks has no effect what-so-ever. Scenario 2 "Creeping creeping 1. gradual progression of a lesion or tissue growth. 2. prostrate growth pattern of a plant, e.g. c. buttercup (Ranunculus repens), c. caustic (Euphorbia drummondii), c. charlie (Glechoma hederacea), c. fear" shows the impact in the likely case that specifically the inconsistent scientific assessment of the dangers of electronic smog feeds the creeping fear of mobile phone users. Scenario 3 "Massive restrictions" shows the impact in the case of a scientific substantiation of the health risks. In April 2003, a telephonic survey in Germany was conducted of 300 mobile phone users over the age of 16. In addition, over 50 expert interviews were conducted with mobile phone operators, government departments, legal experts and citizens' action groups. Answers to Crucial Questions -What are the risks and opportunities of the emotional debate on electro-magnetic pollution through mobile telephony? -What are the potential financial losses faced by mobile phone operators? -What kind of sales are end-device manufacturers, transmitter A device that generates signals. Contrast with receiver. manufacturers and network operators likely to see? -How are industry representatives to behave with regulatory bodies, local authorities, the general population and also the critical citizens' action groups? -What kinds of precautionary pre·cau·tion·ar·y also pre·cau·tion·al adj.
