CTIA to Appeal San Francisco Radiation Ruling

The CTIA Wireless Association has indicated that it plans to appeal the ruling in its lawsuit against the city of San Francisco over a law that requires retail stores to display warning signs about radiation from cell phones. The ruling, handed down on October 28, severely limited the original intent of the law, but the CTIA believes that even the narrowed ordinance is unacceptable. It is asking the federal appeals court to block the ordinance from going into effect on November 30. The city of San Francisco, meanwhile, is also appealing the ruling in hopes of reversing the judge's decision and getting the original ordinance reinstated. The CTIA and city of San Francisco have been battling over this issue for close to 18 months.
