5G is a marketing term for a variety of new mobile phone technologies that use very high frequency (GHz) parts of the radiospectrum to allow increased speed of data transfer. It has prompted unprecedented calls for a review of health effects[1] and has widely been criticised for breaching the precautionary principle.[2][3]
Contents
Rollout
In September 2018 the Federal Communications Commission restricted cities' ability to regulate 5G infrastructure. Their decision was criticised by the US Conference of Mayors, whose CEO stated that “The [FCC] has embarked on an unprecedented federal intrusion into local (and state) government property rights that will have substantial and continuing adverse impacts on cities and their taxpayers.”[4]
Health Concerns
Hundreds of scientists have registered their concerns about the health impacts of 5G technology, observing that "Damage goes well beyond the human race, as there is growing evidence of harmful effects to both plants and animals."[5] It is suspected to exert an "oxidative" stress on cells, to which some people are particularly susceptible.[6] The Bundesamt für Strahlenschutz (BfS), the Federal Office for Radiation Protection, recommended circumspection (Umsicht) in deployment of 5G, and called for further research.[7]
5G postponements
Various local governments have moved to block the local rollout of 5G, generally citing health concerns.[8]
Belgium
A pilot project to try 5G deployment in Brussels was suspended in April 2019 due to concern that it would contravene radiospectrum emission laws[9] and might be injurious to health.[10]
France
In April 2019, Florence became the first Italian city to halt 5G deployment, also due to the precautionary principle.[11][12]
Netherlands
In March 2019, Utrecht City Council decided unanimously to postpone decision-making on 4G and 5G infrastructure on new lamp posts until the risks to health and privacy were better understood.[13]
Switzerland
Thousands of people protested in Bern in September 2019 against the rollout of 5G.[14] The canton government of Geneva declared a preliminary moratorium on the 5G rollout there due to concern about health risks.[15]
UK
In October 2019, a UK town council voted to block 5g deployment.[16]
US
In 2018, a Californian town council voted unanimously to suspend local 5G deployment.[17]
Security concerns
In 2019, the French parliament passed what was dubbed the “Huawei Law”, to give the government the legal right to security vet 5G rollouts in the country.[18]
Performance concerns
A May 2019 report in Semiconductor Engineering claimed that "5G Heats Up Base Stations", threatening reliability and signal integrity when in heavy use.[19]
