CTV: Wi-Fi Danger in Schools Rebuttal
CTV owned by Bell Canada = slanted reporting and a misinformed public
"It's a shame that CTV - owned by Bell Canada, used a flawed testing protocol to misinform the public about the "low" level of Wi-Fi radiation, in the name of "investigative journalism".
"We strongly protest against this PR piece being presented as "news".
"Conflict of interest does not only exist at the CTV/Bell level, but also the party conducting the measurements. CTV engaged Planetworks which is a consultant firm serving industry clients. Planetworks is a vendor involved regularly in celltower rental contracts.
"Measuring two schools with Wi-Fi and two different schools without Wi-Fi is a sloppy way to compare. The schools are located in different neighbourhoods.
"The proper way is to measure a number of schools with (a) Wi-Fi on, (b) downloading data/video with 20-30 devices in the room at the same time to represent classroom scenario, (c) measure both the nearfield level - user contact with the devices, and (d) the farfield - ambient levels. Then measure in the SAME schools with the Wi-Fi and all wireless devices (including cordless phones) turned off . . .
