MOBILE phone masts are checked regularly to ensure emissions do not break exposure guidelines, two of Guernsey’s operators have said.

ISLANDERS need to be just as careful when going online as the rest of the world, a digital safety expert said at Safer Internet Day on Saturday.

NEW phone masts should be tested immediately to make sure they meet exposure guidelines, the Environment minister said yesterday.

ENVIRONMENT members will re-consider a planning application to put up a telecommunications pole at a Vale vinery following changes to the proposals.

EXPERIENCE gained through establishing Airtel-Vodafone in the Channel Islands has helped Airtel to innovate in India, the company says.

NEIGHBOURS of Oakleigh Vinery will continue to object to proposals by Airtel-Vodafone to erect a telephone mast on the site, despite it reapplying for a pole at a reduced height.

BROADBAND prices are too high for islanders and local businesses, one of Guernsey’s telecom companies has said.

A FRUSTRATED telecoms company is hoping a planning decision appeal will resurrect plans to put up a phone mast in the Vale.

AIRTEL Vodafone has said that the political reaction by members of the Environment Department who rejected the company’s application to erect a mobile phone mast was ill-informed.

ENVIRONMENT members have disregarded planners’ advice and thrown out an application to erect a telecommunications pole in the north of the island yesterday.
