United States must comply with FCC safety
guidelines that limit RF exposure. The FCC
relies on the FDA and other health agencies
for safety questions about wireless phones.

The FCC also regulates the base stations
that the wireless phone networks rely
upon. While these base stations operate at
higher power than do the wireless phones
