Today’s first two items are related, so I numbered them 1a and 1b.
– Obviously I care about children, nevertheless, I am not sure why so many people pretend(?) to mostly ignore the fact that it is not only a large percentage of kids who are broken. Only sometimes do such articles advise that all adults, whether or not they are parents, need to adjust their own unhealthy screen habits.
– One of the articles mentions an organization named “Wired Human” but the organization is not regarding wired-instead-of-wireless.
– I have not yet noticed anyone acknowledging that wireless connectivity is like a gateway drug to screen addictions. If wireless connectivity is not available everywhere at every moment, people of all ages would not as often fall prey to screen addictions or social media content.

Yes, it mentions Safety Code 6 — the usual, nothing special. It features 600 MHz, 700 MHz, 800 MHz (and other sub-6 GHz radiofrequencies).
Did we know that as of March 2023 there has been a CPC for satellites?
