August 8, 2008 - EMR Policy Institute (EMRPI) Petition to Deny FCC approval of the Verizon Wireless – Alltel merger WT Docket 08-95. EMRPI argues that the FCC has not addressed the impact of long-term exposure to radiofrequency (RF) radiation on human health. Providing protection for human exposure to potentially unsafe levels of RF radiation as required by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) will not occur if the FCC approves this transfer before updating its present obsolete and inadequate RF safety guidelines. FCC should deny the license transfer from Alltel to VZW until VZW implements an RF safety solution that protects the public and all categories of workers whose workplaces are found near to VZW’s antenna sites.

August 8, 2008 - The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers files letter with FCC opposing the VZW – Alltel merger until VZW enacts an RF safety program that protects all workers at its antenna sites. IBEW represents approximately 750,000 members who work in every state of the nation and in a wide variety of fields, including utilities, construction, telecommunications, broadcasting, manufacturing, railroads and government.
