    According to a Finnish newspaper, criminals have now managed to clone
    GSM phone IMEI numbers.
    
    IMEI (International Mobile Eqipment Identification) is a unique
    ID for each GSM phone. If a phone is e.g. stolen, the network
    operator can disable that particular phone (regardless of what SIM is
    used in it).
    
    Apparently there have been "grey" re-imports of Nokia phones from
    Germany back to Finland, with reprogrammed IMEI numbers (several phones
    using the same number). One of these was stolen, resulting in that all
    phones with the cloned number went dead.
    
    (This is all from a newspaper, so I wouln't vouch for its technical
    accuracy).

    I heard (3rd hand) a story that certain US states have banned further
    installation of GSM base stations because of "potential adverse health
    effects".
    
    True story ? Background ? Comments ?

    �No.  Not true at all.
    
    Here in Germany, there's often popular protest against GSM base
    stations because of the alleged risks.
    
    Somewhere (I've forgotten what the place was called) a whole village
    took Deutsche Telekom to court after they'd built a base station on a
    small hill in the middle of a field nearby, complaining about
    headaches, insomnia, and allergic reactions because of the radiation.
    
    It turned out that the station wasn't even operational yet, and had
    never ever transmitted just one microwatt.
