- Towers & siting: “the ability for small local communities and governments to have autonomy and the option to choose where we want to allow cell towers and small cell antennae.”
- Section 704 / TCA: “The fact that health and environmental concerns regarding these technologies cannot be used as evidence or argument”

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
To whom is may concern, Im relieved at the thought that the impact of Cellular Infrastructure, EMF's, RF Radiation and Wireless Radiation could actually be studied and responded to. Our current laws do not protect us from what modern day technology is exposing us to and consequences of that concern me greatly! We want current research and property safety structures as well as the ability for small local communities and governments to have autonomy and the option to choose where we want to allow cell towers and small cell antennae. Our local board of supervisors has been sued for voting in favor of our community and siding with our concerns of a tower being 100 feet from family homes and close enough to fall on houses. This is awful for the people who live their lives and invest in their homes and community to be denied the right to choose not to have a 150' cell tower just feet from their homes. The fact that health and environmental concerns regarding these technologies cannot be used as evidence or argument to protect our families and environment is criminal. The FCC who benefits financially from these towers should not be in control of laws and regulations surrounding local governmental rights and the rights of a community to choose what we live with. Health effects from EMF's, RF Radiation and Wireless Radiation Exposure NEED to be studied by non-biased groups to that our health and safety can be protected, not profits of parties who benefit from this technology. It's time to protect our children, elders, animals and community as a whole. We don't ask to get rid of these technologies, but to understand their impacts so that we can make informed decisions that protect our safety while still providing people with needed modern technology. Health and safety is paramount!
