This is the "cell tower just outside your bedroom window" that I was talking
about:
"Through these agreements, carriers will benefit from streamlined access to
thousands of city-owned poles for their small cell deployments."
I trust someone is worrying about nearby buildings. For example, the first
attachment limits the power transmitted through these antennas (one o no more
than four antennas) to 360 W ERP. Is that total ERP or per antenna? Not clear.
Anyway, seems high to me, depending on exact circumstances. You sure wouldn't
want that from your WiFi access point, yet distances might not be so different.
"That's why today I am making available model agreements for small cell and 5G
deployment negotiated by the City of San Jose and approved last night by the
San Jose City Council."
As Commissioner Rosenworcel says at the beginning, "It means acknowledging that
we have a legal tradition of local control in this country but also recognizing
that more streamlined and uniform practices can help speed deployment."
I expect "tradition of local control" may have something to say about these
matters. This aspect of 5G is troubling.

For Immediate Release
COMMISSIONER JESSICA ROSENWORCEL ANNOUNCES AVAILABILITY OF MODEL AGREEMENTS FOR
SMALL CELL DEPLOYMENT
WASHINGTON, June 27th, 2018:
"Right now, policymakers across the country are focused on strengthening
American infrastructure. That effort includes roads, bridges, and broadband
networks that support 5G wireless services.
That's vital-because to be first to a 5G future, we need to focus as much on
the ground as on the skies. But figuring out how to deploy 5G
infrastructure-which puts a premium on small cells-is a big task. It means
acknowledging that we have a legal tradition of local control in this country
but also recognizing that more streamlined and uniform practices can help speed
deployment.
Our cities are important partners in this effort. That's why today I am making
available model agreements for small cell and 5G deployment negotiated by the
City of San Jose and approved last night by the San Jose City Council. Through
these agreements, carriers will benefit from streamlined access to thousands of
city-owned poles for their small cell deployments. In turn, carriers will fund
a decade long effort to help close the digital divide in San Jose, where more
than 95,000 residents still lack access to broadband Internet service at home.
I thank Mayor Sam Liccardo for his leadership, and I share his hope that these
agreements can inform the work of cities and towns nationwide to support
universal broadband deployment and expand the civic and commercial
opportunities of the digital age."
