Subject: T-Mobile Wireless facility at 11371 Bubb Rd - New facts
0
Today AT&T Wireless announced that it has agreed to acquire T-Mobile. The deal was approved by
the boards of both companies. This news presents new facts/evidence that were not known during
previous hearings regarding the T-Mobile request for antenna at 11371 Bubb Rd.
This acquisition has far reaching aspects that affect the wireless coverage of whole Cupertino area.
1. AT&T has already received approval for a wireless tower at Results Way. We can expect that
AT&T will do new survey based on their existing combined coverage prior to deploying additional
nearby "local" antennas.
2. The Results Way antenna is less than one mile away from 11371 Bubb Rd location. Cupertino city
regulation requires any single operator requesting more than one aerial wireless permit per year
(19.108.080), to prepare a wireless master plan.
3. AT&T is now starting to deploy more advanced technology than T-Mobile using different spectrum,
antennas, and thus requires completely new analysis vs the one submitted by T-Mobile.
Based on these facts we are asking the city to put on hold all activity (including the 415
reconsideration hearing) regarding T-Mobile Wireless facility at 11371 Bubb Rd and thus save public
resources and money discussing/analysing a plan which is bound to be scrapped by AT&T.
