Support US Senate Bill S.2012 — Restoring Local Control Over Public Infrastructure Act (116th Congress) overturns the two FCC Small Cell Streamlining Orders and the rules that went with them: FCC orders 18-111; please submit a message to Sen. Diane Feinstein here to support S.2012.

Support US House Bill HR.530 — Accelerating Broadband Development by Empowering Local Communities Act (116th Congress) overturns the two FCC Small Cell Streamlining Orders and the rules that went with them: FCC orders 18-111; please submit a message to Rep. Anna Eshoo here to support HR.530.

Oppose US Senate Bill S.1699 — STREAMLINE Small Cell Deployment Act (116th Congress): This horrible bill proposes aggressive shot clocks and a deemed-approve clause, which tramples local authority. This could get quietly attached to some emergency spending bill and get voted through without any Senate or House debate. We cannot allow that legislative path — the same path followed by S.19 – The Mobile Now Act in 2018
-
Oppose US Senate Bill S.7243 — Radiofrequency Radiation Site Safety Information Act of 2018 (115th Congress): Telecom companies shall not be liable in any civil action for an injury alleged to have been caused by RF-EMR emissions from Wireless Telecommunications Facilities (WTFs), if the dompany is in compliance with the information-sharing requirement.
Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez: Dangers of RF Electromagnetic Microwave Radiation (RF-EMR) Exposures
View and read the Full Measure interview with Dr. Martin Pall.
Read Dr. Pall’s paper 4G/5G Densification: Great risk for EU, U.S. and International Health here.
Fortunately, the IRREGULATORS sued the FCC. Learn how to support this law suit here.
Telecom companies have been warning their shareholders for many years that they may eventually be held liable for harm caused by their wireless devices and infrastructure. Insurance companies have known better than to insure them – it’s just too risky. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is supposed to protect the public by regulating the Telecom Industry They’ve been doing a lousy job of this for many years because the FCC is captured by the very industries it presumably regulates.
This has become much worse with the Trump FCC and their efforts to expedite nationwide forced 4G+5G installations based on fraudulent economic analysis. In addition, No Telecom companies have provided any scientific evidence that densified 4G and 5G antenna installations in close proximity to homes would be safe.
Despite this, installation continues in many states even though people have been getting sick where densifed 4G or 4G+5G has already been installed — see in Sacramento and Switzerland.
We need FCC 18-111 and 18-133 overturned in the courts and in the US Congress because they have illegal overreach into state and local authority.
FCC 18-133 proposes to do the following:
-
Attempts to remove regulatory barriers that would inhibit the deployment of infrastructure necessary to support 5G services.
-
Supports advanced 4G or 5G offerings by allowing providers to build out small cells at a faster pace and at a far greater density of deployment than before.
-
New set of shot clocks which allows 60 days for reviewing the application for attachment of a Small Wireless Facility using an existing structure (whether or not it has a wireless antenna already on it) and 90 days for the review of an application for attachment of a small wireless facility using a new structure.
-
Small Wireless Facilities remain subject to the Commission’s rules governing pulsed, data-modulated, Radio-frequency Electromagnetic Microwave Radiation (RF-EMR) exposures which only protect against heating due to acute exposures and does not protect from the biological effects of RF-EMR exposures.
-
It finds that the size of Small Wireless Facilities poses little or no risk of adverse effects on the environment or historic preservation (this notion was was rejected by the Federal DC Circuit of Appeals on August 9, 2019).
-
Identifies specific (and low) recommended fee levels for the deployment of Small Wireless Facilities
FCC 18–111 proposes to do the following:
-
Promotes broadband deployment by speeding the process and reducing the costs of attaching new 4G and 5G antennas and ancillary equipment to utility poles, street lights and other street furniture.
-
Speeds the process of preparing poles for new attachments, and calls this “one touch make ready.”
-
Sets the rates for pole attachments that incumbent local exchange carriers (LECs) must charge.
-
Attempts to preempt, on a case-by-case basis, state and local laws that inhibit the rebuilding or restoration of broadband infrastructure after a disaster.
-
Bars state and local moratoria on telecommunications services and facilities deployment, attempting to use section 253(a) of the 1996 Telecom Act to support the odd notion that local regulations may “prohibit or have the effect of prohibiting the ability of any entity to provide any interstate or intrastate telecommunications service.”
