[6gip] Ethics problems in 5G deployments

[Alexandre Petrescu <[e-mail]>]

There are some Ethics problems with 5G deployments.

In some place people set fire on what they thought to be a public 5G 
base station (it was a DAB station but that's not important).

When last time people set fire on some roadway side units, the entire 
deployment, valuable in the range of hundreds of millions of euros, was 
stopped and discarded.  Not only money was lost but devices stay there 
in the nature for a few years now, which is not very good.

A related problem is the understanding (or not understanding) of the 
influence of the frequencies used on 5G on brains of humans, or on 
pregnant women, or on radio-sensitive persons.  Some health aspects led 
directly to consultation to doctors and change of lifestyle, like e.g. 
sleep under a radio-protective cover, like a sort of Faraday cage.

There are many issues with these things that I tend to qualify as 
Ethics.  They should be considered.

Maybe what is done wrong in 5G that led to this constestatory situation 
(we did not see protests against 4G or 3G deployments) could be improved 
and to have a better position for 6G deployments to avoid these problems.
