Wireless Bill Would Cap Application Fees for Larger Wireless Equipment
• A bill introduced last week would prohibit a local government from imposing
an application fee of more than $3,000 for wireless providers to install
wireless equipment on water towers, buildings, or “other structures
designed primarily for other purposes.” Despite significant changes in
telecommunications law last year, the bill is being pushed by T-Mobile. The
language is exclusive of small cell wireless installations.
