Market analysis of user-financed FTTP system in Palo AltoStephen Blum
The market potential and business case for a user-financed fiber to the premise system in Palo were evaluated by Tellus Venture Associates. Steve Blum, the president of the company, presented the findings to the city's utilities advisory committee on 6 June 2012.
An experienced street lighting team’s perspective -
Scotland has a strong focus on accelerating the provision of electric vehicle charging infrastructure. Data shows that outside of London, Scotland is way ahead of the rest of the UK in the provision of public charge points. So, what can be learnt from Westminster’s EV charging rollout? The process has been managed by a specific team, with technical input from the council’s street lighting team. This CPD presentation will give the street lighting team’s view of the in-column EV charging rollout in the council. Covering the expectations versus reality under current standards, the issues found following installation, and the ever-changing landscape of what can be allowed on the highway, this session will benefit every street lighting professional with an involvement in EV charging. The webinar will also include an overview of the issues to consider with rapid chargers.

How Do Municipalities Comply with the FCC’s New Rule on Small Cell Wireless D...Meyers Nave
California municipalities are constantly faced with a changing regulatory framework related to the next generation of wireless services, known as 5G, which requires installing vast numbers of small cell equipment. These new networks present completely different local regulatory issues than the 3G and 4G networks of the past, which involved constructing large towers with a coverage range of a few miles. Supporting advanced 4G and new 5G requires telecommunications companies to build thousands of small cells at a faster pace with a far greater density of deployment. Municipalities’ policies and ordinances must keep up with this fast-changing technology.
The FCC recently adopted a new “Declaratory Ruling and Third Report and Order” that interprets provisions of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 to preempt local regulations that effectively prohibit the deployment of small cell wireless infrastructure in local communities. The FCC Ruling includes broad definitions of the types of local regulations that would be presumed to constitute an impermissible effective prohibition of wireless services, and establishes the applicable “shot clock” timelines by which local agencies must take action on small cell deployment applications.
Meyers Nave attorneys Jason Rosenberg and Claire Lai provided a webinar that explains the important new obligations for California municipalities. Their webinar covers rule violation, fees & charges, non-fee requirements, shot clocks, and grandfathering.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

Nov. 4, 2015 Infrastructure Committee: Small Cell Sites
1. SMALL CELL SITES
OVERVIEW & PROPOSED MASTER LICENSE PROGRAM
Presented to:
Infrastructure Committee
November 4, 2015
2. Overview of Small Cell Sites
• Small cells are low-powered radio access points that enhance
wireless connectivity, coverage and performance. Small cells are
intended to :
– Improve overall connectivity for end users by minimizing weak spots.
– Provide better coverage across the city by “plugging” zero coverage
spots.
– Improve performance of current network by reducing burden on
current infrastructure.
– Reduce need for large towers.
• Placed at edge of traditional cell tower coverage areas.
• Portable devices that are low-profile and easy to install.
• “Small" compared to traditional cell towers (antenna height <40’).
• Smaller space requirement.
3. Placement Possibilities
• Existing infrastructure or new poles (in
areas of high pedestrian traffic, busy roads,
near offices, shopping centers and
apartments).
• Right now, only proposed on street light
poles.
• City will not allow them on traffic signal
poles.
4. Technical Requirements
• Power and fiber needed for each small cell
site.
• Cabinets may be needed for additional
equipment adjacent to poles (currently not
proposed).
5. Small cell site attachment to
utility pole in San Francisco
Small cell site attachment to
streetlight in San Francisco
Samples in Public ROW
8. Regulation in Public ROW
• Right to Use Public ROW - Wireless
communication companies generally
qualify as “telephone corporations”
under state law, which entitles them to
utilize public ROW for deployment of
their communication facilities.
• Regulation Limited to TP&M - Cities are
prohibited under state law from charging
any type of franchise fee or rent for a
telephone corporation’s use of the public
ROW; may only impose reasonable time,
place and manner restrictions.
• Result - Small cell sites are becoming.
How much control will the City have?
9. Regulation in Public ROW
(cont)
• City’s Proprietary Capacity – When a
wireless communication company desires
to place its equipment on City-owned
property, the City acts in its proprietary
(as opposed to regulatory) capacity.
• More Control & Rights for City – The City
has the ability to collect revenue and to
control the precise location of the
communication facilities.
10. Master License Program
• Overtures to City – The City has been
approached by a few wireless
communications companies requesting to
place small cell sites on City poles.
• Proposed Master Agreements – The City
has discussed entering into a Master
License Agreement with at least one
company, and depending on Council
direction will meet with others.
11. Benefits of City Program
• Revenue - Generate revenue for the City.
• Control - Greater control over the location
of the small cell sites. Not limited to TP&M
regulations.
• Not applicable - FCC Ruling on siting
policies (requires City to approve
minor modifications to existing
telecommunications facilities).
• Not applicable - AB 57 (provides
deemed approved status to cell sites
that are not reviewed in a timely
manner).
12. Proposed Process
• City Council would approve Master License
Agreement.
• Licensee would be required to obtain a
permit from the Board of Zoning
Adjustment for each small cell site located
under the Master License Agreement.
13. Master License Terms
• Standard rate, annual escalation & other
payment terms (including power usage, if
needed).
• Standard term and renewal options.
• Termination rights.
• Requirement that equipment be installed in
accordance with Federal, State and City
regulations.
• Indemnification and insurance requirements.
• Could identify locations where small cell sites
would not be allowed and allow locations to be
approved on a case-by-case basis (or delineate
the precise location for each small cell site). If
the former, could also delegate authority to City
Manager to approve precise locations.
14. Potential Issues
• Installation of electrical meter for each small
cell site location.
• If no meter installed, reimbursement of
electric charges (particularly if installed on
light poles maintained by an LMD).
• Maintaining supply of light poles (for knock
downs and other damage).
