Against the British Vodafone, the world's largest mobile phone company, a dozen Americans suffering from a brain tumor are suing. The guarantor of success should be their legal representative, the law office of Peter Angelos. He became famous for his lawsuit against the tobacco lobby, which he won 4.2 billion dollars for the victims in Maryland.
- If the companies knew about the dangers of cell phone radiation, they should be draconianly punished, not only for what they did to the public, but also for the billions they earned - said Angels' associate John A. Pisa for the London Times, which yesterday was the first to publish the story about the lawsuits that could destroy telecommunications companies.

Angels' office announced the first two lawsuits before March, and will file the rest within the year. Each will target mobile phone manufacturers, mobile service providers as well as local phone companies. Compensation will be sought for the pain suffered by cancer patients as well as compensation for the families of mobile phone users who died of cancer. The most accused is Verizon, a joint venture between British Vodafone and American Bel Atlantic, which has 26 million users in the US. Although the lawyers do not want to talk about the amount of damages, it is clear that if the lawsuit is won, it will be in the billions because the American judgments will encourage other mobile phone users in the world to file similar lawsuits.
In Vodafone, a company with more than 60 million users where they are surprised by the filing of lawsuits, they refer to the latest scientific research that did not connect mobile phones with brain tumors. The American Health Association published last week the results of a parallel study of 469 sick men and women and 422 healthy ones, and found that cell phones - in the short term - do not cause cancer. Scientists have admitted that they need to conduct further research for the long-term effects of radiation.
