Camilla Rees & Scott McCollough, Esq Say Cell Towers Are Costing You More Than Just Property Value

Camilla Rees & Scott McCollough, Esq Say Cell Towers Are Costing You More Than Just Property Value

“Enough is enough.” That’s the rallying cry of more than 100 health advocacy groups uniting under the banner of 704 No More — a coalition determined to restore local governments’ rights over the placement of cell towers and antennas.

Why? Because in 1996, Congress quietly passed Section 704 of the Telecom Act, which stripped local communities of the ability to fight these towers on health or environmental grounds. Nearly three decades later, wireless infrastructure has multiplied, exposures have intensified, and communities remain powerless.

 

In this episode of The Healthier Tech Podcast, host R Blank sits down with longtime health advocate Camilla Rees and telecom attorney Scott McCollough, Esq., to uncover:

  • How industry lobbying created Section 704—and why it still protects profits over people

  • The science regulators ignore: decades of Navy, NASA, NIH, and EPA studies showing EMFs disrupt DNA, immunity, and ecosystems

  • Why you can’t sue for property loss or illness when a tower goes up near your home

  • The safer alternative: how fiber-to-the-home could cut EMF exposure by hundreds of times while keeping fast connectivity

  • Why the FCC is one of the most captured agencies in Washington—and what it means for your health

This episode dives deep into health, rights, and the hidden history of U.S. telecom policy. If you care about your family, your property, or your community, you don’t want to miss it.
