To Prevent Protests, San Francisco Subway Turns Off Cell Signals

Pundits are panning leaders of San Francisco's Bay Area Rapid Transit
(BART) subway system for the actions they took to stifle potential station
protests this past Thursday. According to officials, underground cellular
service at select BART stations was turned off from around 4 pm to 7 pm
that day in an attempt to prevent protest organizers from communicating
and organizing via mobile devices.

According to officials, BART's method for blocking cell phone signals
didn't involve any kind of signal jammingwhich could run afoul of the
Communications Act of 1934, a measure that expressly forbids "maliciously
interfering with the radio communications of any station licensed or
authorized under the Act..."
.
An initial statement by BART made it seem as if the organization had
contacted cellular service providers and asked them to flip their
respective switches, but further interviews with BART officials indicated
that the organization itself has the power to, and did, turn off the
wireless signals it provides for transit riders. The official decision to
cut service was a two-pronged effort by BART police and Sherwood Wakeman,
BART's interim general manager.

Nevertheless, BART critics contend that the act of shutting down cellular
service in an effort to prevent protests the first time BART has done so
in its history, notes a spokesman was wrong on its face.
