Posted Wed May 27 2009: from London Times:
Mobile phones to be banned in French primary schools to limit health risks http://apocadocs.com/s.pl?1243446994

The measures, which emerged from a six-week review of mobile phone and wi-fi radiation, have been attacked as inadequate by campaigners who accuse the State of playing down dangers from phones and transmitter masts. The campaign groups, which walked out on the government consultation on Monday, wanted a ban on mobile use by children under 14 and drastic measures to limit the power and location of masts.
