With ‘hands tied’ County Supervisors approve small cell ordinance
The San Diego County Board unanimously adopted its new regulations regarding 5G small cell sites. Chair Dianne Jacob said the new ordinance is "The best that we can do"—aiming to protect constituents and communities while complying with narrow federal regulations to keep up with demand of 5G technology. Crown Castle, as well as Verizon, Sprint and AT&T, spoke out against the ordinance’s setbacks, which they said were simply "veiled prohibitions."
