As the momentum towards "Smart" surveillance cities powered by 5G begins in the United States, the Federal Communications Commission approved a new rule that limits the power of local authorities.On Monday, October 1, Sacramento, Houston, Indianapolis, and Los Angeles became the first cities to gain access to Verizon's 5G Wireless service. The City of Sacramento has become the focus of Verizon's national expansion of 5G or 5th generation cellular technology.
"We were able to make Sacramento one of our first 5G cities because Mayor Darrell Steinberg and city leaders embraced innovation and developed a strategic vision of how 5G could be a platform for Sacramento's largest technological ecosystem." He said Jonathan LeCompte, president of Pacific Market for Verizon.
The launch of 5G is expected to announce the start of Smart Cities, where driverless cars, pollution sensors, cell phones, traffic lights and thousands of other devices interact in what is known as "The internet of things"Internet of Things: The frequencies used to control the crowds that cause pain will tie more than 50 billion devices
The movement toward the smart grid accelerated last week when the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) approved a rule that will limit the role of local authorities with respect to the 5G network construction, specifically the amount that municipal officials can charge to telecommunications companies ("Big Tech").
The hill reported in the new rule:
"The four commissioners offered support for the rule, with Democrat Jessica Rosenworcel disagreeing over only part of the proposal. When the new rules take effect, local officials will have between 60 and 90 days to review installation requests.
"Republicans on the commission say limiting what they consider exorbitant rates in major cities will free up capital for companies like Verizon and AT & T to invest in building their networks in underserved rural areas. The commission estimated that the rule will save wireless providers $ 2 billion. "
However, there are those who resist the race towards the "intelligent" future. the The mayors of Los Angeles and Philadelphia objected to the rule. and accused the FCC of nullifying local authority to regulate the new technology.
Eric Garcetti, mayor of Los Angeles sent a letter to the FCC stating that the rules would void previous agreements established by local authorities and Verizon and AT & T. In addition, before the vote a group of House Democrats. wrote to the president of the FCC, Ajit Pai, asking him to cancel the vote.
"This is an extraordinary federal scope," Rosenworcel said of the rule. "I do not think the law allows Washington to control state and local authorities in this way, and I am concerned that the litigation that follows will only slow down our future 5G."
The Hill also points out that critics argue that the race to a 5G future is leading to a greater "digital divide" between those who have faster Internet capabilities and those who do not.
Sascha Meinrath, the Palmer Chair in Telecommunications at the Pennsylvania State University, believes that the rule will help reduce competition.
"What is preventing the deployment is not allowing local governments to charge fees, their anti-competitive behavior by incumbents," he added. InsideSources said in an interview. "If you study the history of telecommunications, this is a cycle that happens again and again."
Is 5G safe?
Other Concerns about the 5G expansion. include potential health risks due to the need for an increase in cellular equipment. It is reported that 5G technology is 100 times faster than current speeds, but the signal is short, so cities must install thousands of new "small cells" in the current infrastructure, as well as new equipment. Critics worry about the health impact of these cells.
"In addition, the proliferation of small cells has raised concerns about potential health risks, particularly given how close some pole-mounted antennas are to homes.The FCC updated its radiation exposure guidelines for the last time. of two decades, based primarily on the existing cell phone towers, citizens in several communities have protested the facilities, and the agency is in the process of updating its standards. "
The edge it was also reported that the "FCC excludes these small cells appointment to be reviewed for environmental impacts and impacts on the historical character of an area. It also limits the review on tribal lands. "
Health concerns regarding the dangers of cell phones and 5G were due to an evaluation conducted in May 2011 in which the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) of the World Health Organization Health classified cell phones as Category 2B for "possibly carcinogenic to humans."
In addition, in August 2016, the LA Times asked:Is 5G technology dangerous? The first data show a slight increase in tumors in male rats exposed to cell phone radiation"
That report shows that researchers from the National Toxicology Program published preliminary data in May 2016 that showed small increases in tumors in male rats exposed to cell phone radiation. The rats were exposed to nine hours of radiation daily, at intervals of 10 minutes, 10 minutes of rest, especially their body for two years.
The researchers found an increase in the incidence of rare brain and brain tumors beginning at approximately the level allowed by the federal government for cellular radiation for brain exposure, with higher incidences at approximately two and four times those levels.
Privacy, a thing of the past.
The next smart grid also threatens to erase the last vestiges of privacy, all in the name of comfort, novelty and security (supposedly). However, the dangers are largely ignored in favor of promoting the perceived benefits. The ACLU described The dangers of surveillance of 5G technology:
"Many of these technologies involve cameras You can assign tasks ranging from traffic tracking to monitoring when the bin in the corner is full. The problems begin when they are also used to track people and their movements.
"In a city covered with cameras, even in LED bulbs they are in the lampposts: it would be very easy for the government to keep track of political meetings, religious institutions, doctors' offices and other sensitive places that people attend and to focus their attention even more on traditionally exaggerated communities. This is why these "smart cities" are also known as "Surveillance cities. "
The FCC and city officials must conduct additional studies on the possible health effects related to the 5G deployment. In addition, people in these cities should have the opportunity to comment on the health and privacy implications.
Unfortunately, it seems that most people do not totally agree with this situation or are hosting 5G because of the prospect of "living in the future now".
