Wireless industry waits for SF's next move on cell phone radiation


The wireless industry isn't celebrating a victory yet, despite a federal appeal court ruling that struck down San Francisco's attempt to force cell phone retailers to distribute radiation warning materials with each phone purchased.


The CTIA, the industry's trade association, remained quiet on the ruling. A spokesperson for the CTIA said that the group had no comment on the ruling, which came down yesterday. The court said the city couldn't make merchants promote a message they disagree with.


The CTIA is no doubt waiting to see what San Francisco is going to do next.


The city can either ask the 9th Circuit Court or the U.S. Supreme Court to review the case, or go back to the U.S. District Court to have a full-fledged trial. There's also a third option -- the city could simply give up.
