  1. John -
    Listening to the video from 9/15, I was struck by the amount and detail of discussion for the cell equipment.
    Can you explain why there was so much discussion about this type of infrastructure modification, and absolutely none when Google Fiber was considering installing its infrastructure in Dunwoody? Especially considering installation would be just as intrusive for either company? Why does one company get tons of discussion, and the other none at all, when both would involve intrusive activity to get them installed?

  2. SDOC, I disagree that that both technologies are equally intrusive, we now have black fiber lines strung along the poles throughout some Dunwoody neighborhoods and the small cell towers are completely different animal with silver boxes protruding, antennas streaming data and excessive wiring running up and down the poles. With no city oversight of small cell industry we have seen contractors installing new poles without notifying city and the wires being held up with duct tape.

    We pressed hard for Google Fiber as well as Fiber from AT&T and others but Google has made commitments to other cities and will need to serve them first, but I believe they will be making their way though our town as well. We also want to welcome the small cell infrastructure but there needs to be city code in place otherwise there is no oversight on installation practices. I hope that helps?
