Article provides answers to the most frequently asked questions about cellular phones and the new Federal Communications Commission regulations.

The percentage of headsets manufactured with reduced interference should reach 50 percent by February 18, 2008. Interested parties are encouraged to visit http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/consumerfacts/hac.html for detailed information. A list of resources, included cellular phone manufacturers, is provided.
