(Tuesday, August 24) - Teleconference on Distibuted Antenna Systems (on Thursday)

One of the “hot topics” developing for local governments is a new cellular wireless technology called “Distributed Antenna Systems” or DAS. This is a network of antennae mounted of poles in the rights-of-way which are capable of carrying multiple cellular services at the same time. The network is owned by a single entity that then leases to capacity to multiple cellular providers.  The legal problems arise from the fact these are cellular facilities (which are normally regulated through zoning requirements) but are being placed in the public rights-of-way (where facilities are usually exempt from zoning).  THIS SESSION IS PART II and will discuss the ways local government should respond, including modifying their zoning ordinances and PROW management/compensation rules.

This is a 60 minute call, and takes place on Thursday, August 26th, from 2:00pm - 3:00 EDT. The cost for IMLA members is $99 and $199 for non-members.
