Wireless companies
For years, wireless companies have been practically giving away handsets with ever-newer bells and whistles as a lure to potential customers or an inducement to stay for existing subscribers who may be eyeing a new carrier. So when a wireless network fails, its wearer can still make calls, says Network Anatomy CEO Doug Linman. Since there are no known risks from exposure to RF emissions from wireless phones, there is no reason to believe that hands-free kits reduce risks if you trace cell phone numbers. But with programs like Charitable Recycling, Collective Good, Verizon Wireless Hope Line and the CTIA’s Wireless Foundation, cell phones can have a life beyond their first owner.
