thats average not maximum
Back in 1990 or so I was building what would now be called packet radio,
and for licensing purposes power output and safety standards were a problem,
low power meant simpler licensing but limited power meant limited range and
reliability, .
The power was peak as measured at 1metre and based on a presumption of
a low number of transmitters in the environment.
Then along came mobiles , the safety standard was redefined to be average
power over a few minutes and bumped up ten fold.
Mobiles got better coverage by packing more power into shorter bursts at
higher frequencies.
Nowadays you have 10 times higher power held next to your head
and possibility of dozens of transmitters within a few metres, and exposure
to hundreds and thousands at longer ranges at public events.
I don't know if it is safe now, in total driving home from the pub is
almost certainly more dangerous than spending the evening with everyone
chatting away to friends in the pub ( and why do you see 4 people sitting at
the same table all talking to
someone else on the phone ???)
but I don't think they would have passed the licensing tests 20 years ago.
