Stop Kalamata in the pilot 5G

The Municipal Council of Kalamata, voted to stop the 5G pilot program, adopting the opinions of a group of citizens who asked to stop the "experiment" for health reasons.

Unbelievable and yet true !. The Municipal Council of Kalamata with 16 votes in favor and 13 against, decided to stop the 5G program, adopting the view that their city is becoming an "experiment with experimental animals of Kalamata" and that the scientific measurements of "Democritus" that count radiation are unacceptable much lower than the allowable limit (0,2 volts with a limit of 47).

They asked not to renew the contract with Wind before new measurements were made, which will be announced at a scientific event in the first ten days of January.

In fact, at the City Council meeting, a text was read by representatives of the reactionary citizens, who considered radiation dangerous, and by the 2G, 3G, and 4G networks. sterilization plan of the Kalamatians with a parallel influx of immigrants in order to change the demographic composition of the city !!!!.

The city of Kalamata was chosen by WIND to implement one pilot installation program 5G. Similar programs have already been implemented in other cities and regions of Greece by other companies. For example COSMOTE runs the same program in the Municipality of Zografou.

WIND responded to the Kalamata City Council with the following notice:

"What if our country is trying to get on the threshold of growth after 10 painful years of crisis? What if everyone recognizes that the "4 Industrial Revolution", with the development of new generation fiber optic networks and 5G, has already begun and Greece should not miss this train too? Whatever our country needs investment, needs perspective, vision and determination to stop the "bleeding" of brain drain? Technophobia and digital illiteracy threaten to take us back decades, as evidenced by the Kalamata City Council's decision to suspend the pilot of the 5 mobile generation network (5G).

»Kalamata had all the guarantees to become a model city in terms of digital infrastructure and to be at the forefront of technological developments and development, even compared to the large urban centers of the country. Instead, it risks stripping away that privilege and wasting precious time, making its citizens victims of misinformation, ignorance and, at times, political exploitation of an issue that should be a national goal and priority.

»With the state's intention to auction 5G licenses for 2020, but with a hostile environment that seems to be shaped by individual local governments, investments run the risk of being delayed. They will, however, come to other countries that Greeks like to consider as models, for example. the Scandinavian. In these countries, which are, of course, one of the most stringent security issues, investment in next-generation telecommunications infrastructure is rapidly advancing to meet the needs of its citizens, as by 2025 58% of the global population will have access to 5G networks and services.

»Greece is at a crossroads: either it will make leaps towards the future, utilizing the infrastructure, or it will monitor the developments and try to catch up with them. Courage, determination and responsible attitude and from those who make the central decisions are non-negotiable components to develop new technologies and innovations in Greece. At the point where our country is today - to move in infrastructure με 2-3 χρόνια διαφορά σε σχέση με την πρώτη ταχύτητα της Ευρώπης- είναι κομβικό να μην χαθεί άλλος χρόνος και να μην διευρυνθεί το .

»Digital technology will transform the entire global economy and society, and it will do so very quickly. The European Commission estimates that for every €1 billion invested in Internet development, an average of 9.300 jobs are created. The 5th generation technology in mobile telephony has the potential to "unlock" revenues in the order of 12,3 trillion. dollars for a wide range of sectors of the global economy. It is estimated that from 2020 to 2035, the total contribution of 5G to global GDP will be equivalent to an economy the size of today, the seventh largest in the world. It is no coincidence that nine out of ten people believe that 5G will enable new products and services that have not yet been invented.

»In any case, as it is natural to be concerned about any new technology and its effect on public health, it is easy to cultivate fear as a result of lack of knowledge, misinformation and often technophobia. That is why there are competent scientific organizations, global as well as national, such as the Hellenic Atomic Energy Commission - Demokritos (who have been carrying out thousands of measurements for years), which the Kalamata municipal council did not take care to consult, in order to properly inform and officially its citizens.

"Greece has a great opportunity ahead of it. New generation networks such as fiber and 5G, which can play a key role in the growth of the economy, contribute greatly to the recovery of Greek businesses and revitalize many industries.
This will not happen, however, unless we stop raising obstacles to this ongoing effort. "

The conclusion is yours to make.

  1. What digital literacy ???
    Here they are protesting about the mobile antennas with a mobile phone in hand….
    And then they cry that everything is done in Athens etc etc etc…
    In the end, only in Trikala it seems that it is advantageous to do the tests….

    They are able to go to OTE tomorrow and request a PSTN σύνδεση internet connection…

    Otherwise they also want development…
    Wind είπε told them just fine

    All for the little ones….
