Washington, DC ? With the increasing use of mobile communications devices, wireless companies have stepped up their efforts to locate towers in residential communities. In many instances, issues of cost and convenience have led to proposals to place towers directly adjacent to schools, in parks, on church grounds, along busy rights-of-way and even in small open spaces in residential communities. The location of these towers has caused an ever-increasing push back from local residents who fear a loss of property values, the quiet enjoyment of their neighborhoods as well as negative health consequences. As communities consider how to respond to the proposed location of cell towers in their neighborhoods, they face a morass of federal, state and local laws and regulations, many of which were implemented at the behest of the wireless companies to smooth the path to a grant of their applications.
The attorneys at Technology Law Group have decades of experience in the cellular industry, starting with applications for the original cellular licenses in the early 1980s. We understand the technology as well as the legal and regulatory issues that form the basis of tower location battles. This experience has made it possible for the attorneys at Technology Law Group to help numerous communities defeat efforts to locate towers in their neighborhoods. Indeed, as Technology Law Group?s Managing Partner, Neil S. Ende explains, ? the firm?s decision to offer its services to communities opposing cell towers is the direct byproduct of its work to stop the location of several cellular towers in my home town in McLean, Virginia, including towers that were planned for the campus of my daughters? middle school. We learned from those battles is that it is possible to stop the inappropriate location of cell towers if you have the right team, expertise and strategy.?
