University bans wi-fi over health fears
Sun, 26 February 2006
A Canadian university has announced it is limiting wi-fi on campus due to “health and security” fears.
The president of Lakehead University, Fred Gilbert, recently took the decision to use wired internet connections rather than wi-fi as he believes health risks associated with the technology are yet to be entirely disproved.
Gilbert reportedly said while he remains president of the university, the college will not adopt wi-fi - citing the existence of studies which have shown the electromagnetic forces used in wi-fi may be carcinogenic in animals.
