  FCC takes up phone safety ahead of GAO report
  Washington Post
  By Cecilia Kang
  
  The Government Accountability Office will release a report July 24 on its review of the federal government's safety standards for cell phones.
  
  The expected report offers one reason for why the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission on Friday took the first steps toward updating the agency's 15-year-limits for radio frequencies from mobile devices. The FCC puts limits on the specific absorption rates of the devices - which is the measure of radio frequency energy absorbed by the body during cell phone use.
