I have heard the following statements:
- the effects of high-frequency radiowaves are unknown
- the amount of energy actually received by the body is very low due to the omni-directional antenna. The energy goes down by the law of the surface of a sphere.
- the minimum distance from the antenna should be 10cm (4 inches?)
