so the cell phone carriers say... they are running a MASSIVE FUD campaign to get everyone back on cell data instead of wifi data since they have less people using cell data. Sprint paid someone 3K/mo to do this.

"High power", it's still around 1/10th of a watt in most cases, with the energy dissipated into three dimensions, a mobile phone operating at the same frequency is going to be putting out 5 times as much, and it's going to be in your pocket instead of dissipating for meters over three dimensions, unless you have no mobile phones in your household and workplace as well as both of those having no cordless landline phones, no bluetooth devices, no portable games consoles, no microwave ovens, etc, the amount of 2.4ghz exposure you're going to get from a wireless router is going to be negligible compared to your everyday exposure

If you think such a light exposure to 2.4ghz as the one Wi-Fi creates is going to create a noticeable impact on your health, you need to go and live in a lead shed in a remote location, as there are so many products in the modern world that emit 2.4ghz radiation in a manner that is going to provide you with 10x-1000x the exposure any Wi-Fi network is going to over your lifetime, that you're basically dead

Do you have a Microwave in your kitchen, a computer in your bedroom, a phone in your pocket?
I'd be more worried about them.
