For Immediate Release
STATEMENT OF COMMISSIONER MICHAEL O’RIELLY 
ON SMALL CELL PUBLIC NOTICE
WASHINGTON, May 12, 2016. — The parameters outlined within this Public Notice 
will provide appropriate relief to further small cell and DAS infrastructure investment 
and installation, a need which will become even more acute as “5G” wireless 
technologies are developed and deployed. Having pushed to get this item done quickly 
and correctly, I salute the efforts of those in the Wireless Bureau to get us to this 
point. Next, we should conclude this issue by fall while turning to the next infrastructure 
challenges and barriers, including twilight towers.
