I guess I'm the optimist. Besides... all these issues exist with existing transmission methods. Ever drive under high tension transmission lines with the radio on?

And there are some interesting videos around of people popping corn with their cell phones. I doubt anyone is contemplating giving those up soon.
I try to be realistic there. And unless someone discovers a previously un-thought-of quantum-entangled magnetic field equivalent that does the tric, it sounds very much like a PR-campaign to loosen funds and boost stocks.

As to the corn popping cell phones, the makers of these videos have already admitted that those are (really well made) fakes. It's not possible to pop corn with cell phones (for anyone it doubt, try it yourself, or ask your lokal physicist, he/she'll be happy to calculate the neccessary number of cell phones).
