Sounds like they have their own cell “towers” in their stations as a convenience to their riders? I think if that were the case - not sure I see the problem with it.

You are correct, most tunnels have 'leaky-pipe' antennas connected to mini cell stations. But when you get a Federal License for one, you agree to the ITU treaties.

Federal law trumps in this case, localities can't do this without permission from the FCC.

Clearly interstate commerce, the way I read the Constitution. And I'm not a fan of how the IC clause has been abused.

Oh - thanks! So not quite the same as if I turn off my unprotected WI-FI and my neighbor using it gets mad.
