I often experience headaches & nausea when near 5g towers, etc. Cannot go into Walmart & other big box stores that have a lot of wi fi. Some days better than others. Sky spraying has been going on here for years, & that seems to make it worse.
I am writing to share my support for keeping our wireless networks open and expanding our internet infrastructure, including 5G and Wi-Fi. Having reliable wireless access is incredibly important for everyday life, and I do not believe we should limit it or slow down its growth.
Please consider these points:
• My family relies on this technology every day: High-speed internet and wireless connections are not luxuries anymore—they are tools we need to survive. We use them for school, talking to doctors, and keeping in touch with family. If we restrict the wireless spectrum, it could hurt regular people and businesses who need this connectivity.
• Public safety depends on it: Cell towers and wireless networks are how we call for help in the remote rural area where we live. Police, firefighters, and paramedics rely on these networks to do their jobs and protect my family and our neighborhoods.
• Major health agencies say it is safe: From what I understand, major health organizations—like the FDA and the World Health Organization—have looked at hundreds of studies over decades. They have consistently found that the low-level signals from Wi-Fi and cell phones do not cause health problems. The radiation used is "non-ionizing," which means it is too weak to cause damage.
• There are already safety rules: Our government already has strict safety limits in place for cell towers and devices to make sure they are safe for the public.
Conclusion
While it is always a good idea for scientists to keep studying technology, we should not make rules that hold us back based on fear instead of facts. Please keep our wireless spectrum open so our communities can continue to grow and stay connected.

As Commercial Radio Communications Technician I wanted to suggest a couple experiences I have witnessed.
This comment is by no means formal and I want to apologize for that. This is a simple example of my personal experiences as an individual installing commercial wireless network.
I want to express concerns and exposure experiences about 4G/5G wide band equipment in close proximity. Personally I dread when an issue happens involving starlink antenna systems. As an installer a latency test must be performed for best antenna alignment in general. This pertains to Starlink WAN antennas and cellular omni systems. My personal exposure to these systems is weekly. As i primarily operate vhf systems below 50 watts.
Now with some context I just want to offer my exposure experiences. Wide band antenna systems with diversity antennas are a moderate concern personally. It is very common to experience short term memory loss for 5G in my experience personally. Almost brain fog as working and alignment of wide antennas. Another type of exposure I have personally involves smart meter RF in close proximity to where I sleep. It is very common to have an insomnia feeling as the smart meter is 6’ away on the outside wall from my bedroom pillow. We are unable to opt out of smart meter living in rural Pennsylvania.
The reason for this comment is with the new satellite spectrum licensing proposed by the FCC happening. As a commercial installer it is very common to align starlink antennas for best latency testing. In doing so I personally have had my face near this equipment and I can say I have received a microwave effect to my head. This feeling is not so much warm but once you feel it you will avoid it at all costs. It causes instant discomfort and specifically to the crown of my skull. I really appreciate this agency opening for public comment. I think the ultra wide band measures taken by the FCC may be misconstrued by SPCX valuations. Personally this is a warning to anyone reading this never hold one of these 2 devices to your head.

I'm still being attacked by directed energy weapons for about 5 years and need help! I lost so much money and been hurt for so long I can't work and have to get more medical services to get it fixed have had numerous surgeries in my life being hit everyday and night and I never did anything wrong, it makes no sense!
I work in a building directly under a 5G Verizon tower. We are renters and it is literally on the roof above my office. Almost all of my coworkers and myself get brain fog at work that we don’t get at home. My bosses recently hired an independent RF tester who confirmed the levels were unsafe. Our landlord denies this and has sent their lawyers to deal with my bosses. They don’t want to modify the lease to allow us out of it early.
This is a pretty big deal for us right now, I guess. I really wish there were more and better reliable studies about how this affects people. I’ve been working here for three years: is Verizon damaging my body?
For the past 10 years, when I first installed a router into my home to power my desktop computer and smartphone, I've experienced sleep disturbances, headaches and neurlalgia. Telecom companies have a stranglehold on congress with their aggressive lobbying; therefore, I don't expect one damn thing to come of this pathetic (because it's years too late) "inquiry". Fortunately, at least inside your own home, it is still possible to hard wire your internet with ethernet wiring. It is evil and heartless for a society such as ours to force the elderly, many of whom don't understand the skills necessary to navigate this tech heavy society, to have digital "accounts" for every damn business and health relationship necessary to survive.
My husband and I are among those who must wear stealth EMF-blocking hats during air travel. Without them, we become severely fatigued, experience brain fog, and are much more susceptible to colds, influenza, and similar illnesses. My husband travels frequently for work and must shield himself; otherwise, he is susceptible to the same effects which impede his work and health.
In hotels, Airbnbs, and on cruise ships, sleep is often disrupted when we sleep near the electrical outlets typically placed by the headboard or head of the bed. We therefore travel with aluminum foil and tape so we can shield ourselves. This necessity is not widely recognized but again, effects can be felt without it.
Sleeping near a Wi-Fi router, a utility smart meter on an exterior wall, or similar sources produces the same symptoms. We must also avoid sleeping near our smartphones at night.
As RV snowbirds, we have had to forgo lots near cell towers, WiFi routers or electrical lines, because proximity to them can make us ill.
Shielding ourselves in this way is an unwelcome task that takes considerable time and energy, but the alternative has been poor health. I often carry a GQ Tri-Field EMF Radiation Detector to corroborate our experience. As someone who has lived with chronic illness for twenty years, I am encouraged that you are taking this seriously.
There needs to be strong regulations on wireless technology. Cell phone towers are at the top of the list. People living within close proximity are at risk for health issues. Especially the young. In addition, use of 5G with cell phones are putting people at risk with long term exposure. Symptoms include headaches, nervous system reactions, and possible brain tumors. This is especially important on trains, airplanes, and public transportation where people who travel a lot can be accumulating symptoms, which over time can be dangerous to their health.
