Germany has taken a strong stance against wi fi and possible health risks:

“People should avoid using Wi-Fi wherever possible because of the risks it may pose to health, the German government has said.

Its surprise ruling – the most damning made by any government on the fast-growing technology – will shake the industry and British ministers, and vindicates the questions that The Independent on Sunday has been raising over the past four months.”

Wi fi seems omnipresent. - For myself, I can’t think of a work location throughout the week where wi fi is not readily available. At the moment, I am sitting within arm’s length of a wi fi home router - as I am sure many of you are too. The wi fi industry, no doubt, will have a massive public relations reply to the German caution.
