You are talking about people who stormed the Apple Shop in Regent St to stop Bill Gates using it as a base to spread 5G via vaccines or whatever nonsense it is they believe.

And the shop in question is three doors away from the Microsoft Shop which actually is owned by Bill Gates.

Why would they be logical about that?...

Well if these idiots are being controlled by microchips it seems pretty obvious that they are running Windows. Look at how many new version the vaccine has needed, now talking about it needing annual upgrades.

Yeah, I downloaded my 3rd Service pack yesterday. Still a bit of a pain in the arm to load.

On top of everything else, 5G mind control doesn't seem to work very well. If it did, these folks, far from fighting Gates and the Illuminati, would presumably be under its control, assembled in the streets, and chanting "What do we want? 5G. When do we want it? NOW!!!"

5G radiation coming from street lamps now. its called light~

When did radio antennas become "masts"? A "mast" stuck to a lamp post?

Yeah, it's a bit bad of a technical publication not to realise that the mast is the "tower" and the aerial (or antenna) is what goes at the top of the mast. The article is about putting aerials onto pre-existing "masts", eg lampposts

I'm sure if Lewis was still on the shipping desk that he;d be able to educate them on what a mast is :-).

Harmful to what exactly? Now they will be strapped to streetlights and lampposts. That is only outside your home, inside you're home they're offering not-small-at-all black boxes that will fit snugly on your fireplace mantle and bedroom corner stand.

Then there's the increased power consumption which means increased taxes which means increased everything else, including health insurance.

Physical health has many variables.

To possibly satisfy all conditions, how about putting massive 5G arrays in every graveyard...

How is the black box that transmits 5G any different to the white box that transmits my wifi signal?

Wifi Access Points also come in other colours, including black.

> How is the black box that transmits 5G any different to the white box that transmits my wifi signal?

Yes, but black is more sinister...

"Yes, but black is more sinister..."

Dun, Dun, DUUUHNNN!!!

>Yes, but black is more sinister...

A career in the home office awaits you

"How is the black box that transmits 5G any different to the white box that transmits my wifi signal?"

Or the small white globes that transmit even higher frequency radiation from my light fittings.

Well, if we're playing Yorkshiremen - I've just had an X-ray today.

How is the black box that transmits 5G any different to the white box that transmits my wifi signal?

Perhaps six small black ones can look like one large white one?

Lampposts are going to be busy, first EV chargers, now 5G stations. All that from a 500W unmetered connection?

Is that 500W per street lamp? Seems a lot even before LED lamps were installed.

The old sodium lamps ranged between 50W for a residential side street to 400W for a busy urban dual carriageway. The newer LED bulbs are about 30% lower - so between 35W and 280W.

It is the residential side streets where you are most likely to want to plug in a car charger.

"5G is no more harmful than 4G LTE, which is pretty harmless unless you try physically eating the networking equipment. Even then the risk is from electric shock or indigestion."

WARNING

Eating electronic equipment which contains lots of harmful chemicals is not a good idea. Specifically eating batteries can cause serious problems far far worse than indigestion, as internal fluids in the digestive tract can be conductive and release very harmful chemicals when in contact with batteries. Anyone who swallows a battery (even one which seems to have no charge left) should immediately consult a doctor.

Batteries are far and away more toxic once they enter a body than almost anything else normally to hand. They can burn through internal organs within days, leading to fatal consequences, as a number of small children's parents have found. A case of look no throat or stomach, it is also incredibly painful.

As they are typically on the top of 15 metre(+) poles with a plethora of "street furniture" associated i struggle to see how they'd work at any level of quality or in a cost effective manor without saturating an area (based on street lighting height) and the "cost" to maintain from an operators perspective.

In general i was also under the impression that there are issues when too many sites overlap and also weight tolerances for the equipment in general?

These seem to be major "site" considerations on applications I've seen recently from Hutcison & EE.

As most 4G poles won't carry 5G equipment would a typical street light be "rated" to carry anything beyond a very "small cell" or at all?

I don't imagine a lot of people will be appreciative of them (regardless of what you are i may think) strapped to the lights outside "the kids" bedroom windows and i can see it not playing well for planning departments in regards to the volume of noise it will create.

The streetlight sites are for city centers.

You need lots of cells because a bazzillion punters walking down Oxford st all need to: appear to themselves every day, On TikTok.To make sure they're still real. It's the only connection they feel.

Then having micro cells every 10m helps and it's slightly inconvenient to knock down every building in central London to put up custom large masts.

Don't worry about the lights outside kid's bedroom, worry about what they are listening to on their infernal transistor radios playing the devils music (swanee kazoo)

".. .To make sure they're still real. It's the only connection they feel."

+1 for the pink floyd reference!

My local 4G mast is on top of a streetlight pole.

You have the normal pole with the lamp attached to an arm coming out of the side. Then above that bit where you wouldn't normally have anything, the pole continues to extend upwards, gets a bit wider, and the 4G stuff is up there.

Not every lamp post has one of those, not even remotely close to every one of them. There is one for O2 on one side of the road at a junction, then on the other side of the road there is one for EE.

Good luck with that. My local council can't even get their planning answers straight between themselves.

Oh yes, they are absolutely crepe.

Woman across the road backed into my car on two occasions coming out of her drive. I suggested that the council use on the kerb parking as per my side. Their response was that it would require the tarmac path to be strengthened as the utilities were running underneath the pavement. We had work completed for new gas pipes and water pipes in the entire road - and all utilities are my side not the other, and you can see the TV cable company trenches my side too.

How much rental can I charge for installing one on our roof?

IIRC, I think there was some sort of OFCOM guidance on that such that you can't charge prohibitive amounts. Also, in some cases at least, you can't refuse to have it if they want to put one there. I think there's also something in the rules about "reasonable access" too, possibly with extra charges allowed to be levied for out of hours access.

>How much rental can I charge for installing one on our roof?

About 0.00001% of the cost of getting planning permission, getting the CAA, OfCom, the CoE, the village in bloom committee and the Chancellor of the Dutchy of Arbroath's gamekeepers tea-masher's mate to approve it.

Getting a structural engineering report, a new telecom certified electrical supply, a separate meter because the 50W it uses is taxed at a different rate (actually the same % but calculated in a different way) and a determination if this means your cat now comes under IR35

You also need a copy of the report about how the government is dynamically thrusting toward a new next-generation cloud based high-tech utopia of skills based on Internet of things (only available from HMSO in person)

Ah... you must mean the HMSO office at No 42 Ganges St, Kolkata that is only open between midday and 1pm on alternate Wednesdays.

"Some set a phone mast in Birmingham on fire a couple of years ago, claiming it was some kind of mind control ray sponsored by the Illuminati and Bill Gates"

They were correct and, indeed, living proof about mind control. They just misidentified who sponsors it.

Never thought of Ozzie as representing the mind of Birmingham before..

There are actual working minds in Birmingham? (Specifically the one in England, the one in Alabama, and the one in Central Canaduh, I don’t know anything about the multitudes of others.) I’d like to see some evidence for this supposition. Especially for the one in Alabama, I don’t think that there’s been a working mind in the entire state since 2016, possibly earlier.

National Infrastructure Making Backhoes Yesterday

Where I live, there are no street lights, traffic lights, CCTV , but then there is no signals from any of the G's. So, Situation Normal.

There is a new system called Large Area Mobile Broadband (LAMB) which will equip sheep with backpack transmitters allowing them to roam the countryside bringing internet to the yokels.

Using the new wool based mesh protocol - it's knitware.

5G is no more harmful than 4G LTE

Please, can't we find some technology that will make Piers Corbyn's head explode for real?
