NewsBreaks Five years ago Supreme Court Returns Spectrum to NextWave “The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that regulators at the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) illegally reclaimed portions of wireless spectrum awarded to NextWave Telecom in the Commission’s sweeping series of spectrum auctions held in 1996. The 8 to 1 decision issued in January by the nation’s highest court returns to NextWave 63 wireless spectrum licenses, for which the company originally bid a reported $4.7 billion. Industry officials put the current value of those licenses at around $6.5 billion.” Conformity, April 2003 Ten years ago New Studies Link EMFs to Cancer “A team of U.S. researchers have found what they believe may be the causal link between electromagnetic fields (EMFs) and cancer. According to a recent report in Science News, scientists at the Wayne Hughes Institute in St. Paul, Minnesota have identified an enzyme that, when exposed to magnetic fields, may send the wrong “data” to cellular DNA. It is this incorrect data, they believe, that may result in the production of cancer cells in the body, thereby providing the missing link between EMFs and cancer.” Conformity, April 1998 Web Directory Advertisers A.
