The mobile phone industry takes allegations of adverse health impacts seriously due to the potential for expensive product liability lawsuits and loss of subscribers. Therefore, the industry has participated in and funded research studies on the health effects of cell phones and towers. Indian regulations set stricter norms than international standards, fining operators for towers emitting excessive levels and banning handsets with SAR rates above the 1.6 watts per kilogram limit.
Radio signal health a digital artefact for erick njuriErick Njuri
This digital artifact is targeting persons who may be interested in knowing more about the status of radio signal health in Kenya. The document only gives a guideline as to what the country has done and also gives guidance on the recommended sources of information. More detailed information can be found in the WHO and ITU websites provided in the presentation.
According to WHO: Eelectromagnetic fields of all frequencies represent one of the most common and fastest growing environmental influences, about which anxiety and speculation are spreading. All populations are now exposed to varying degrees of EMF, and the levels will continue to increase as technology advances. A wide range of environmental influences causes biological effects. 'Biological effect' does not equal 'health hazard'. Special research is needed to identify and measure health hazards.
At low frequencies, external electric and magnetic fields induce small circulating currents within the body. In virtually all ordinary environments, the levels of induced currents inside the body are too small to produce obvious effects.
The main effect of radiofrequency electromagnetic fields is heating of body tissues.

Competition Law and Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs), since ages, have had a difficult marriage. As is popularly believed that a happy, successful and enduring marriage, between spouses, is good for the growth, stability and future development of the children, nearly in a similar way, it is necessary for this marriage between competition law and IPRs for the overall and long-term benefit of the society. IPRs are statutorily given monopolies and these are given for good reasons to induce inventions and other creative outcomes from some gifted members of the society to be revealed to the society at large so that , in exchange for granting of short term monopoly to the contributor of the IPRs, the society is revealed the new inventions and creations which become publicly available after the lapse of statutorily granted monopoly time period. During the period during the grant of these statutorily allowed monopolies, the holder of IPRs is permitted reasonable protection under competition law as well. The order in automobiles spare parts’ case passed by CCI on the question of reasonableness is an important landmark in this area of jurisprudence of IPRs and competition law. The author, who as the first Director General of functional Competition Commission of India, established the competition law investigation framework in India, looks back at this order of CCI in this piece.

Presentation on Cellular Industry analysis. In this presentation analysis of Pestel and Porter Five Force Model Analysis.
SV Institute of Management Kadi student
Presenting By: Chirag Dabgar
this assignment is generally prepared to analyse the strategic analysis on telecom industries and in this the example has been taken for Airtel Telecom Sector and its analysis has been done.
The growth of telecom sector of India in last decade attracts foreign investor to invest their money in this sector. Privatisation, liberalization and globalisation have increased foreign investment in India. With the entry of foreign investors, competition within the industry sharply increases, contributing to substantially lower telephoney tariff in the country, which dramatically attracts massive subscribers in the country. India’s telecom sector over the last decade due to which many corporations have entered; the labour market has increased significantly. Telecom sector in providing employment in India keeps its leading position. The telecom sectors is not only an increase in employment but also have made a significant contribution to the development of human resources. Foreign direct investment in telecom received not only capital but also has advance technology which facilitate many sector such as trade, manufacturing, entertainment, defence etc. To conclude, foreign investment in telecommunication has much greater impacts on the Indian economy.
The deck highlights the concerns of people related to cell-towers in India today. The presentation directs people to authentic bodies like DoT which takes care of regulation & other radiation related public concerns. It acts as a guide to all the radiation related issues in India.
SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS FOR RFID IN HEALTHCARE MEDICAL DEVICES by FEIG ELECTRONICSKelly Stark
Although many medical companies have adopted RFID technology there are still obstacles. For example, some in the industry are concerned that electromagnetic emissions from RFID could interfere with medical devices. Don’t miss this opportunity to gain testing insights for complying with ISO 60601 standards for embedding RFID into medical devices. Learn how FEIG ELECTRONICS has helped solved some of the RF testing and safety considerations for applications with RF enabled medical devices.

What is the mobile phone industry’s stand on this issue
1. What is the mobile phone industry’s stand on this
issue?
Cellular mobile telecom service providers as well as handset
manufacturers take allegations of adverse health impacts very seriously.
The last thing they want is to be hit with multi million dollar product
liabilty lawsuits. Or to lose most of their subscribers & customers.
Therefore they have participated enthusiatically in research studies about
the possible impacts on health of cell phones & towers. The
comprehensive INTERPHONE study of ICNIRP/WHO was largely funded by
the industry in Europe. Indian norms on towers are ten times stricter than
international norms. Indian norms on handsets are 20% stricter than
international norms. Indian operators who are found to be emitting in
excess of prescribed norms can be fined Rs Ten Lakhs per violation. Dept
of Telecom enforcement cells conduct surprise audits of towers. Handsets
whose SAR Specific Absorption Rate exceed specified limits of 1.6 watts
per kilogram cannot be imported into India or sold in India. In fact, some
Chinese handsets who were found to be emitting as high as 5-10 watts
have been banned.
