LOL. If you don't work for the NSA, they probably love you for getting people to focus on harmless (and pointless, and overpriced) smart meters instead of the real, extremely harmful mass surveillance that's happening.
The power output from these things is substantially lower than a cellphone or wifi device due to their low data rates, hence the need to mesh.
Cancer LOL. Lymphona LOL Brain tumors LOL. Leukemia ROFL. Cell phones are so safe, the 500 Billion dollar a year industry needed to obtain special legal protection absolving them of any liability in a 1998 U.S. Telecommunications bill rider. Companies need special legislation drafted and passed that absolves them of all legal liability **only** when the products they are selling completely safe and harmless, everybody got that? Just like the vaccine industry was granted immunity from legal liability in the United States in 1986. Because their products are so safe. Those of you that are interested in a fact based breakdown on the risk of RF exposure from evil-genius meters should watch this 2010 presentation to the San Francisco Tesla Society by consulting engineer Rob States: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLeCTaSG2-U If there's any silver lining to the deadly health impacts of these devices it's the golden opportunity dropped into the lap of privacy and freedom loving people to leverage opposition to health threat to simultaneously drive out the privacy and data-enslavement threats.
