How Cellsites work see
Technical
Cellsite Applications - A Teleco will buy the licenses to
transmit signals via air for huge amounts from, the Ministry of Economic
Development, see spectrum
auctions & here.
Then needs to apply to the local councils to erect
transmitters/receivers. In New Zealand this is governed by the RMA,
Resource Management Act see
Regulations

Emissions see
Safety
Standards
We are concerned that The NZ Public
Exposure Safety Standard for the emissions of 450µW/cm² is so much higher than
other countries like Austria. Industry seem to have a large input
into setting the NZ Safety Standard. New Zealand has 2 service
providers/carriers, when 1 would have done. Co-siting of transmitters
should be the preferred option. 1 carrier uses microwave links, further
increasing emissions.
Transmitters are erected at night. Communities seem
to have little say in these maters. Many sites are never notified.
Transmitters are located close to schools, daycares, hospitals and elderly
care facilities. Research showing health effects like leukaemia are being
ignored. The health and wellbeing of a community before and after the
erection of a transmitter will never be thoroughly studied. Communities
having to fight these issues through the court system, are facing huge costs
against industry million dollar budgets.
