The Acoustic Ecology Institute's Special and Spotlight reports aim to offer the press, public, and academics a "ten-minute version" on key sound-related environmental and regulatory topics.

Frustrated by lack of mutual acknowledgement and clarity in the "wifi is an insidious energetic pollution being forced down our throats"/"wifi is totally harmless" polarity? So was I. So I dug deeper, and this is what I found......
