Canadian university bans Wifi for health reasons

February 22, 2006

The President of Lakehead University, Canada, apparently a short drive away from Mooseville and Hockeytown, has banned the use of 802.11 wireless networking on campus because he believes it is linked to tumors and other serious health problems.

All I have to say is, if this guy is worried about the effects from a few wireless access points he would flip out if he knew the full range of EM waves that hit our bodies every day. Radio, cellular, microwave…we should be glowing.
