TODAY, LETS GO BEYOND THE TECHNICAL

& EXPLORE THE SAFETY IMPLICATIONS OF 5G

You know5G will be profitable

But where are unknown factors that could cause majorhiccupsor unforeseen benefits?

Where can we put extra time/energyto make 5G a l i fe-saving

too l(not just life-changing)?

One single good idea that grew!

We started by protecting babies & diversified to opportunities toprotect youth, teenagers, boaters, Internet users and drivers of allages

19 years later, were known for putting creative thought topopularizing an issue and making it a cause

We build crusades to save lives globally!

LETS LOOK AT WHY SAFETY IS IMPORTANT

People value safety today more than ever!

Research shows that people believe

that safety is #1 concern on their minds!

From Asia to Europe to America, disasters dominatethe headlines (I.E. - Oklahoma Tornadoes,

Boston Marathon, Sandy Hook Elementary,

Hurricane Sandy, Haiti earthquake, Katrina,

& SE Asia Tsunami and 9/11

HOW 5G CAN HELP / ITS GOOD SIDE1. Grow EmploymentNew public safety jobs emerge as 911 converts to text messages and

requires analysis of inbound SMS of photos of abuse, real-time crimes committed

2. Enhance EducationUniversities add courses in 5G applications, information analysis, etc.

3. Improve Medicine/HealthEMTs equipped with 3D copiers can set splints rather than transporting person

to a hospital; carbon emissions slow climate change

4. Save Lives / TransportationDramatically reduce #1 killer of mankind: car accidents

Addressing the

Downsides

Now


15/35

In 6 years, the public hasgrown worried over the

security of their

personal information.

Since 2006, theres been a

gap between the value

people attach toprivacy & their belief

that they control their

personal information.

15

CHALLENGE #1: LOSS OF PRIVACY


16/35

UBIQUITOUS COMPUTING EXPANDSLOSS OF PRIVACYData secur i ty & pr ivacy become less possib le as con stant wirelesscompu t ing occurs

- Willdata from your dishwasher, home and car be shared with others

automatically allowing others to keep tabs on everything you think/do?

-As wireless devices can monitor you constantly, will the trust gap grow?

- What happens if the public feels it has no control over their information?

- Will stress cause massive opt outs? Will liability issues grow?

16


17/35

THE PRIVACY RISK

H o w P e r s o n a l I n f o r m a t i o n W i l l B e U s e d

Key questions in advance of 5G:

1. To what extent will people be able to opt-in and opt-out of systems?

2. What responsibility / liability will manufacturers have to protect users from hackers?

3. What rights will manufacturers have over data produced by their products?

4. What safeguards will be put in place to prevent gathering of personal information

from these devices & then used to discriminate/harm others?

(i.e. - cyber bullying and resultant suicides)

17

MORE HEADACHES AHEAD!H o w G o v e r n m e n t s M a y B e T e m p t e d

Democratic governments today

agonize over balancing the

private sectors use of personal

data their products generate &

the publics desire for greater

control over their personal

information

Regulations governing privacy and

data protection vary greatly

Many legislative bodies are

gridlocked over how to write

laws to meet wireless realities

18


19/35

WHO WILL CONTROL 5G?P E R S O N A L I N F O R M A T I O N S C O N T R O L A N D

U S E B Y G O V E R N M E N T S

Will public sector efficiencies (via 5G) comeat the cost of personal freedom and privacy?

Will 5G both facilitate and increase the ability ofgovernment agencies to monitor citizens activities

and behaviors, via the citizens own mobile devices?

How will device manufacturers and thecommunications industry respond to pressure byauthoritarian regimes seeking to use data thesedevices produce to strengthen police state activities?

In the search for greater efficiencies, will government

planning become more centralized and lessdemocratic?

AND THEN THE BAD GUYS!H O W C R I M I N A L M I N D S W I L L U S E

P E R S O N A L I N F O R M AT I O N Many people who wouldn't think of running their desktop

PCs withoutantivirus and anti-malware software

dont even consider protecting their phones and

tablets in a similar manner. Its reasonable to expect

that as the number of connected devices increases,

so will vulnerability for cyber crime.

- Deb Shinder, Techrepublic

Corporations and governments will always have

IT and security departments, but

For 5G to grow safely, emphasis needs to be

placed on ensuring newly connected products

are more resilient to cyber attacks!!

3 ADDITIONAL RISKS

1. Transportation Safety

2. Health

3. Employment

21


22/35

RISK #1: TRANSPORTATION

As wireless technology has

become prevalent, issues like

distracted driving surfaced

Unanticipated problems from 5G

dependence could besignificant

RISK #1: TRANSPORTATIONO N - B O A R D 5 G E X P A N D S W I T H I N F O T A I N M E N T

C E N T E R S

Many cars now featureinfotainment centersadding connectivity ANDdistractions.

By 2015, GM and AT&T sayChevys, Buicks, GMCs and

Cadillacs will be equipped with4G LTE wireless.

Apple will add Sirito Chevy Spark& Sonics as will BMW, Hondaand Hyundai!

Will this increase pre-occupationwith navigational screens and

other communications??

23


24/35

RISK #1: TRANSPORTATION T H E F I G H T O V E R S P E C T R U M

Soon, cars will be able to have vehicle-2-vehicle communication

By 2019, DSRC (Dedicated Short-Range Communications) could be a standard

feature in many cars, allowing for direct V2V interaction

The good: NHTSA predicts communication systems can cut 81 % of crashes

Automatic toll paymentAbility to re-route traffic, lessen congestion and improving energy

efficiency

The bad: will wi-fi win out over DSRC in spectrum battle? Could DSRC/computing

cars be interrupted as they pass local wi-fi areas, causing potential traffic

crashes?

And : wi l l cou ntr ies/commu nit ies face upd at ing traf f ic systems? And howwil l this be paid for?

24


25/35

RISK #2: HEALTHS A V I N G L I V E S B U T AT W H A T C O S T ?

Ubi-computing should spur medical advances that save lives.

Example: a person with an implanted RID chip could trigger an alert

when experiencing a heart attack without doing anything!

Q: How many wireless users wi l l allow

cont inuous mon i tor ing?

25


26/35

RISK #3: EMPLOYMENTWill History Repeats Itself ??

Since 2000, online news sources have dramatically

decreased media employment

5G could displace workers in medicine, public safety and law enforcement!!

(In US alone, public safety costs half a trillion a year! 15-20% reduction would save billions!!

Imagine governments forced with continuing revenue cuts tempted toslash thousands of jobs!!

26

SAFE AMERICAS

INITIAL REALIZATION

While Tech Industry focuses on delivering 5G, someone (other thanGovernments!) needs to look at the implications on the societalside!!!

recognizing that 5Gs societal impact could be more severe thanthe Internets introduction, study (& then action) needs to beginnow!

This is not a North America problem its a GLOBAL ISSUE!!

THE WORLDSAFE NETWORK: ITS ROLE

Who is thinking about these issues? And, how will we address them?

These issues require advanced socialresearch. WorldSafe is poised to research& address them exploring gaps in social planning.

By 2018, 5G implementation will shift from a technologicalperspective to

a socio logicalperspective .

WorldSafe/Safe America will look at

integrating this technologys advances

while minimizing negative outcomes

and also stressing safety gains.

29


30/35

OUR APPROACH

1. Study the issues / determine pivotal factors

2. Form an international task force to dialogue on key elements3. Monitor public policy

4. Conduct research on attitudes, acceptance to new features of 5G

5. Create strategies & messages to address key behaviors

NEXT STEP: 5G TASK FORCE

Co-located in Dresden and Atlanta, its initial goals are:

1. To study 5Gs impact on infrastructure

o Study traffic systems to determine what should be done

o Examine how advanced sprinkler systems might impact (eliminate) public safety

positions

o Suggest where savings might be reallocated

2. Prepare people and systems for changes ahead

3. Suggest refinements & safeguards (medicine, EMTs, police, fire, 911, etc.)

CHANGING PERSPECTIVES

Yesterdays Education Authority: Teachers

Today/Tomorrows: Google

Yesterdays Competitors: GM, Toyota, Ford

Tomorrows Competitors: Wi-Fi (Cisco, Qualcomm) vs. Auto Alliance (GM, Toyota,Ford)

2-4Gs unexpected impact: Texting, while driving / cyber bullying

5Gs potential impact: Life-saving ubiquitous computing interrupted(in Vehicle-2-vehicle communications as it passes a

Starbucks)

or Or having private data on cloud hacked; and identities

revealedvia visual recognition software (problems for CIA, FBI, etc.)
